I thought that RF issues were a thing of the past. I've noticed on mine that big pieces of tread are breaking away from the tyre on the inside rim of both rears, and cracks are appearing. Ive only done 7800 miles, so took it into the dealer, who went straight into the "not under any warranty cover" patter. 
Anyhoo upshot is that the Goodyear rep is coming out to see them. Now I have read on other threads on this here forum that other brand tyres have been defective also, i think Dulops in particular got hammered by you good folks.....has anyone had problems recently, as i say I thought this was a thing of the past.
I'll keep you all informed

You have not ordered your new wheels/tyres yet?
I'm still running, now the third E60 summer, with my Dunlop RF's.
Not happy, but they still do the job.

Actually the SportContact3's have not got that good test results!
I'm glad that you didn't go for the 20 inchers!
The E60 is not design for them.
What rims?

CSC2's...
They looked mighty fine on, the quality ( at least to look at) was excellent, they were made in Germany, but it didnt matter what balancing (recalibration of the balancing machine also) they couldnt get the 275/30/19's to dial in (showed OK on the machine) could feel a wobble through the seat, so rears the prob.
Sad...lost confidence in replicas..would still like ACS IV's
