swap out new run flats?

I know this is a oft-heard question, but I've got a added piece to it. Bought a new Cooper (not an S) equipped with 16" run flats off the lot here. Would not have opted for these tires/wheels but it was the only car out there.

The Mini is a week old; I don't like what I hear (and feel) about the harsher ride and ESPECIALLY about the price of new runflats. The Mini has a spare (the usual type).

What would be a fair deal in order to equip it with regular tires? I don't actually care a whole lot about the "looks" of any particlar wheel: I want comfort, economy, and good handling characteristics. What would sound good to propose to the dealer?

Advice?

Thanks.

EGB
