Hello all -
Just wanted to note (in case nobody had yet) that the 550 I took delivery of last week did NOT come with Dunlops. Rather, it came with Bridgestone Potenzas ("RE 050A" make any sense?).
They make for an excellent ride, and are very quiet (so far so good!).
Have a great night...

Sorry. Old News. My 12/04 build 545 also came with RE050 RFT.
My 6/05 build 545 has Dunlop RF's. Harsh ride.

I wonder if the different experiences are due to the tire pressures. I have Potenzas and they are very harsh when pumped up and more tolerable when I let a little air out. Currently I have them at 2.0 and 2.4 as recommended on the B pillar (not sure what that is in PSI)
