Wouldn't that be nice. Unfortunately you have all the choices as long as it is Dunlop.

when was your last blowout

Do you really need runflats? I know there is the safety margin but chances of having a blowout is slim at best. Just my $.02 worth.

Sorry, and thankfully, Toyo has not made the T1-S in runflats.

For the MINI in stock 205/45-17 tire size you can choose the following runflats from tirerack.com-
Dunlop SP Sport 9000 DSST for $229 each (Max Perf Summer tire)
Pirelli eufori@ for $166 each (Ultra High Perf Summer tire)
Goodyear Eagle RS-A for $157 each (High Perf All-Season)
Pirelli Winter 240 SnowSport for $178 each (Perf Winter tire)

About runflats-

What Goodyear is fixen to do next-

Other than a harsher ride on bumpy roads, I think the runflats offer a very nice degree of safety for those that need to avoid changing a flat tire on a busy highway or unsafe/poorly lighted road. Making them more affordable would be a definite plus.
