Just had my Dunlop run flats replaced. My 545 is a June 2005 build and tires made 15th week 2005. Fronts developed pulsating hum starting at 7K miles, and by 8400 miles were getting louder and quite annoying. I noticed inner edge feathering, and when my dealer verified my findings, replaced all 4 with no hesitation.
Car drives and sounds just like it is supposed to, quiet and assured.

So, now with these 4 new Dunlop runflats, I cant help but wonder, that when/if they get noisy again, will the TSB be in affect?

I have my winter set up on right now, but this spring when I get my summers on with my new Dunlop RF I just hope to get one more summer out of them before they start making noice again (which I fully expect).

Unless someone posts that they have found a RF tire that lasts, I will most likely switch off to NRF's (unless BMW plans to purchase me another set a tires for free)
