What tires are shipping with the 05's?
 
I have an '05 waiting for me at the dealer, but can not get it for a while. I have an MC/S with 17 runflat all-season option. What tires will I be getting? What do these tires cost on the open market?

MINI's tire choices haven't changed in the past four years, so I'll base my guesstimate on that.

17" Summer: Either Dunlop 9000 or Pirelli Euforia. I can't figure out why you get one or the other, if there is a reason at all.
17" All-Season: Goodyear Eagle RS-A

The RS-A is over $200/each, which is over $200 more than they're worth, IMO

Why the Pirelli vs the Dunlops? It may be availability of tires in stock at the time of production. MINI treats them like equivalent OEM parts.

From tirerack.com (retail prices are much higher- way too high at the dealer)
All in 205/45-17 size runflat

Pirelli eufori@ (Ultra High Performance Summer) are $165 each
Dunlop SP Sport 9000 DSST (Max Performance Summer) are $225 each
Goodyear RS-A (all season) are $232 each
