She told me that Bridgestone have changed the compounds in these tires and all the new 3 series cars shipping from March 08 have these new improved run flats, I asked her is she could email me any kind of documentation from Bridgestone stating this, she told me that they don't get the service bulletin updates but I should contact Bridgestone to varify this claim.
Has anyone heard of "new improved tires" being installed?

I know the new Nissan GT-R is being factory equipped with the next-gen RFTs from Bridgestone so they definitely do exist, but I don't know if the overhaul applies to all of their tires meaning that BMW would get them too, or if thats a different model line.
