Non issue. In order to make a successful case against regular tires, you'd have to show BMW is taking an unnecessary risk (or greater than average risk) by installing conventional tires. Also, why wouldn't it be the tiremakers fault?

If you snuck yourself into the E-ring of the Pentagon and got on the governments most powerful supercomputer, the math would still come out the same. Runflats=crap.
