In the OP's case, the issue is that his problem may be related to damage done during install, so the dealer took the easy way out and said "you tires are at fault."
WRONG!! I called BMW roadside assist(twice to 2 different people) and they clearly informed me that whether you have runflats or not, a tow truck at the expense of BMW will come and assist you if you have a flat. Period. Let's lay this myth to rest. Even my local BMW dealer said roadside would come but I'd have to pay for it. NOT TRUE according to BMW roadside assistance.

I recently bought 4 dunlop winter sport 3d but on stock sizes for my 325xi.(205/55/r16) I plan though to have them installed at the dealership.
