If you haven’t already done so, I suggest checking the pressures – all fitters seem to put 2.0 bar in all tyres regardless.
Was your car supplied with Continentals form the factory? I did not know they were BMW approved for 18"? I've only seen Bridgestone’s and Michelin’s on 18’s.
As to why they replaced all four - were they trying to avoid mixing tyres for different manufactures?
These run-flats are a whole new ball game!
