A possible workaround is to override the CSS for tiles that need no selection abilities:
<telerik:RadContentTemplateTile runat="server" ID="RadContentTemplateTile1" EnableSelection="false" CssClass="noSelection">
</telerik:RadContentTemplateTile>
.noSelection div.rtileSelectedIcon
{
display: none;
}
div.RadTile.rtileSelected.noSelection
{
border: 2px solid transparent;
}
