Question Getting Rid of RFT's

I have a 06 325xi with the staggered setup. I want to get rid of the RFT Summer tires in favor of get-flat's (all season). However, last year when I tried this all was fine except when I had to replace two of them. The DSC kept coming on during acceleration and after two weeks at the dealer they told me it was due to the weight difference. The tires that I had purchased were the exact same size as the OEM's...

TireRack hasn't heard of this problem either....Does anyone have any ideas how I can get rid of these damn things??

I see people with aftermarket rims and tires all the time....

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

hmmmmmmm....

sounds fishy to me however BMW could try to play the "if its not OEM its not our problem"

does this problem happen ONLY with non RFT's? If that is the case and you still have um on your stock rims I would just try taking it to a different dealership and see what they say. Do you own the car or is it a lease? cuz if you own it you can just shut them up by saying its not required that you run RFT's. Either that or you just got some shitty gripping A/S's before and they wouldn't stick to the pavement.

I have no problems with my non-rfts. DSC light does come on during WOT though.
