Question '09 4.8i Sport w/ 214's - Dunlop or Bridgestone?

Which tire should I expect on my just ordered 4.8i (with 20's) X5?

I asked the dealer, but they are clueless.

I looked on TireRack and they list both as 'OEM'.

275/40-20 + 315/35-20
Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport or Dunlop SP SPORTMAXX

Anyone know for sure?

based on members experiences, I'm gonna go with the Dunlop Sportmaxx...

Has anyone ever gotten Bridgestones from the dealer?

Had the Dunlops on the X when I bought the car, lasted 20K miles with a lot of noise and uneven wear. Put the Dueler HP RFT on, should last about 25-28K with the same style of aggressive driving, quieter and overall improvement in ride and wear patterns.

Dueler

Mine came with Duelers but then I have 18" wheels for now. I have 10,000 miles on them and they are fine. Not to most agressive thread pattern IMO but that may be while the are quiet and last. The 4.8 does corner fine so no complaints on that.
