Ok, the dealer has got back to me, apologetic, and is replacing the tyre. No indication why a new tyre was needed but I'll try and find that out when I go in.
This creates another question though! As I said in my initial post I know nothing technical about tyres but a quick google seems to suggest that the Premium Contact 6 gets better reviews than the Ponteza S001 and monkeyhanger's comment seems to back that up, so am I better asking for them to put another Premium Contact 6 on to make a pair (and possibly putting these on the driving wheels rather than having 4 Pontezas?
Monkeyhanger - I've checked again and there is nothing about different brands on the same axle in the handbook they just have to be the same size, rating and tread pattern.
Thanks
