I have ordered 116 style 17'' with RFT.
Unfortunately I was told it is not possible to choose a specific tyre when you order the car. So I have to wait and see. Is it true?

So far I have seen only Dunlop and Bridgestone tyres, while I know that Pirelli and Michelin are producing RFT.
What RTF do you have on your car and are you satisfied?

I have the Dunlops and was not impressed with the tread roar after about 7000 miles. I'm seeing some random reports that some owners are getting replacements -- I went on record with my dealer a while ago and, at the same time, I called BMWNA about the noise. Both pointed me in Dunlop's direction but told me not to get my hopes up about any replacements.

Now, it seems that maybe enough people have complained and someone is willing to do something about the noise issue -- my problem now is that my rears are bald and if I end up getting some sort of replacement, I don't want to be prorated based on today's treadwear, I want to be prorated based on the treadwear when I first complained!
