I needed my first service done and while I was there I mentioned that my tires were very noisy. They are replacing them now. My service advisor says she can't count the number of tires she has changed under warranty on E60s. Interesting. These tires aren't cheap--someone is paying through the nose for the defect in these dunlop runflats. Or runlouds, as I call them.

According to my SA (not the most knowledgeable source by any means) dunlop has not paid for replacements. It's on BMW's dime. If that's true, don't expect to see OEM dunlops on new BMWs any time soon.

I just re-read the service bulletin dealing with the noisy tire replacement and it seems to indicate that Dunlop is providing the replacements under the tire's warranty, not the car's...
