I just noticed that my 8 has Dunlops on it instead of the Potenzas? WTF! I havent changed the tires since i bought it in Oct so the dealer must have done this. What should i do? Make them get me new ones?

All tho my 8 came with the Bridgestones, apparently some came OEM with Dunlops. It shouldn't be a problem. Their just different.

BTW, some people don't like the Bridgestones.

I picked up my 04 last month, and didn't notice until after I drove away that the Dunlops were on it.

I like 'em. I think they're also a couple of pounds lighter than the Bridgestones.

My '04 came with Dunlops from the factory. Nothing to worry about.
