RFTs are here and will be ubiquitous by the end of the decade...
get used to them.

As for tire choices, the E70 is a first yr model with those tires;
in a yearish or two, there will be options, brand and size, imo.

It happens, as the tire mfg'ers gear up for a niche; my old '02
Vette and its brethren "had" a couple of choices back in the early
model run. Now, there are 7 or 8 mfg'ers pumping out RFTs in
both C5 and C6 tire sizes.

For some cars, it was a decision for space and weight. For others
it is a move to keep the vehicle operation "hands free" and dumbed
down for Biff & Buffy in their errand running around the upper class
'burbs; for other reasons, it's pressure from our fine gov't geniuses...
