Michelin or Bridgestone RFT after May delivery?

They are some rumors that BMW switched from Bridgestone to Micheline during the production process only 18 inch and 19 inch Options.

i'm not sure what the question your asking is. . . .
Are you asking if BMW changed from Bridgestone to Michelin?

I got the Michelin's on an end-Jan. '08 production. The consensus at the time was that about 20% of the production was getting the Michelin's. I'm thinking that with just-in-time supply procedures, Michelin's are the back-up when they run out of Bridgestones.
