I do think you are smart to have the dealer do the swap regardless. These wide run flats are a real b*tch to mount without scuffing the rim. Make certain you emphasize to them you expect the job will be done with NO MARKS on you wheels. If something goes wrong, they can buy you a new wheel.

All those wide runflats are tough to mount but the Cup tires are the worst of the bunch. Unless you know the dealer has the equipment and the experience with Cup tires, I'd go looking for a dedicated Michelin tire dealer such as America's Tire. That's where I have been doing when I need tire work on Michelin Cup runflats. I've been going to them with my '12 ZO6/ZO7 and I'll be going to them with my ZR-1.
