The Sports had them, but the non-sports of that year did not.

I don't have them, but I thought it was RSC?
RSC in a circle on the outside sidewall

RSC = Runflat System Component

Different brands use RSC or RFT i've seen both.

I tried search function, could not get any useful hits. I checked the original window sticker and its not mentioned there. Does that mean I don't have run flat tires?
dunlop runflats say DSST on them

also, check if you have a spare-if you don't, you most certainly have runflats

Yep.

But even on a Dunlop DSST there is the circle with RSC in it.
However they mark them, the RSC should be on the outter sidewall!
That's the only "official" marking!
