I had a similar problem with my previous zed - I bought it from Yeomans ,main Citroen dealer in Fareham - before I drove it away I checked all the paperwork and on the new MOT it had an advisory stating the front nearside was not a RFT - I queried it at the time and was given a load of BS saying it must be as it was a bridgestone , same markings as the offside front - like a twat ( and unusually for me ) I let it go as it was the first BMW I had owned. A month or so later I needed to change the front tyres as they were worn down to the minimium so I changed them - the tyre fitter said it was potentially dangerous to have a RF and a normal tyre on the same axle and voiced his surprise it had been passed on the MOT. At that time I had new continental sports RF's on the rears so had similar tyres fitted on the front. Should really have taken it up with Yeomans but it meant taking the car back over the Solent and in the end couldn't be arsed. Just goes to show you can't trust anybody even big posh main dealer garages.
My new Zed has 108's with new Bridgestone RFT's - haven't been a problem down here but you wouldn't notice that much on the IOW - we only have about 200 yards of dual carriageway on the IOW which is the only legal place to can do 70 mph :wink: :wink:
I have noticed the bridgestones seem to give better protection to the rims that the continentals - I have always wanted originality so have stuck to RFT ( daft probably but that's my choice ) Had all my 108's refurbed without the diamond cut rim and personally think they look fab , especially on a roadster - as regards kerbing I'm just careful - if you kerb your wheel you'll going to mark it no matter what alloys you have.
You could take it up with the bloke who sold you the car but I would just get a new tyre and move on and enjoy the car.
