Tire Change - camera calibration

2022 X7 4.0i with m-sport braking. Just changed from runflats to standard all weather tires and my local Les Schwab (tire company) recommended a camera recalibration. They didn’t try and upsell the work, so I thought it may be legit. Called my SA and she said they don’t make that recommendation. Anyone experience this before?

camera calibration?? for a tire change? some cars might need a tpms recalibration, but bmw uses sensors so no recal needed.

Tell them to replace blinker fluid while they’re at it.

Thanks for all the comments. Made me feel a bit naive — akin to my daughter being sent out by her coach to find a football bat. Nonetheless I’m glad to get confirmation that camera calibration doesn’t correlate to a tire change…….
