I'm planning to order a 228 Sport Line, but I'm not too excited about the stock Bridgestone Potenza S001 RFTs. They seem to be oriented more toward fuel economy than grip, leading to lowish skidpad results and highish braking distances. The sidewalls are apparently not as stiff as the first-generation RFTs that came on my E90 328i sport, but I have a feeling I'd still end up replacing them with non-RFT's as soon as they wear out, and just keep a Continental ContiComfortKit in the car in case I need to do a roadside repair.
This has me wondering if there is any precedent for having the dealership do a tire swap before delivering a new car to a buyer. The idea would be that the dealership would gain a set of completely unused tires that would be in high demand, and the buyer would get the tires he/she want. The dealership could charge the difference in price between the tires + labor to mount/balance + reasonable profit.
If that is completely unheard of, I wonder how hard it would be to sell a brand new set of Bridgestone RFTs on Craigslist/Ebay, and whether I could recoup at least a reasonable amount of the cost of the new tires.
What do you guys think? Anyone have experience swapping out the tires on a brand new car?
