Unhappy Dunlop runflats??

I bought a set of nearly new 16" 5 star alloys with 195/55 Dunlop SP Sport 3000 tyres. They are mint but I was told they were runflats. I've checked the manuals and they say that runflats should have the RSC symbol.

I have seen another mini with the same wheels but his Dunlops said 195/55 Dunlop SP Sport 3000A DSST & RSC
They looked like the same tyre but had these extra markings
Have I been had?
Did BMW fit these tyres as standard? cos the wheels are definately new!
Or did Dunlop make a batch without these markings?
I cannot see any clarification on the Dunlop website

Help!

DSST stands for Dunlop Self Supporting Tire. If it doesn't say that, I don't think it is a runflat. Are you sure yours says 3000, not 3000A?

See http://www.dunloptyres.co.uk/site/ty...tterns/SP3000/

I don't think yours are runflats.
