I'll try to get a second opinion from a different dealer on Tuesday.
That is the biggest bold faced lie I've ever heard. Wow, people are becoming more and more uninformed, on the product they sell.

He probably was meaning to say that the E70's suspension was specifically designed with the intent of running RFTs, but in no way does that statement mean that a conventional tire of the same dimensions as the RFT won't fit.

Wow.
