I have now located the place in the manual to which you refer. I wish I had read that before buying my Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires a few weeks ago. Now that might explain a strange sensation I have been feeling when taking a corner and then stomping on the go-pedal. A couple of times I did that and could feel the slight squirrely feeling in the steering wheel. I wonder why that is? Strange phenomenon. Now to figure out what to do about it.
Right - my bad, it says
"If the vehicle is equipped with an M Sport differential and all-weather tires on 19 inch rims, this can alter handling, for instance the vehicle
may skid. There may be a risk of accident or risk of damage to property. If the vehicle is equipped with an M Sport differential, do not mount all-weather tires on 19 inch rims."

The configurator shows a change from 887M to 887 wheels. So are the 887M non-staggered and the 887 staggered?
