Having uploaded the pics for your edification, now the first question. The new girl comes with Dunlop SP Sport 01 225/50 R17 Run Flats (I was half expecting Goodyear) and then I open the boot and in the well there's a Continental Temporary Tire T135/80 with a warning to inflate to 60psi and keep below 80 kph.
What's going on? Surely we don't have to change to a temp tire when the run flat goes ....flat?

This is the great EU - RF's and a spare. 
I have a spare too. But in the wintertime I run with non RF's and soon in the summer also.
Good thing with the Dunlops are, that they are pretty silent running tyres.
225/50 17" is the best choice for a E60. 18" or 19" looks better but...

A 17" alloy full size spare wheel?
If so, put in your garage since you have RF's.
