1 Tire problem of the 2008 BMW 328

Failure Date: 04/25/2025

225/40r18 the stoplight right down route 7 by stop and shop there is a rectangular hole in the street. I could not avoid it when driving Friday morning 4/25/25 and the dip in the ground blew my driver side front and rear tires and scratched the rims. I had to spend my day Friday getting my tires replaced and now I have scratches on my rims which are fairly new.

2 Tire problem of the 2007 BMW 328

Failure Date: 03/13/2010

My car failed a vehicle inspection today for "safety reasons" because I'm told the 2 front tires are worn out. I have a 2007 BMW 328xi that came with bridgestone turanza el 42 run flat tires. After 8114 miles in response to my complains with the handling, and noise, the tires were found to be scalloped and all 4 were replaced (with same make and model) free of charge in 2007. At 22k miles (14k on new tires) the noise became unbearable and at 28,555 (20k on tires) I took the car back in and was told to replace the tires for close to $1000 (since the dealer said they could only replace tires once) with advise to shop for a better price. Given that my state inspection guidelines consider this a safety issue, and I'm asked to change tires twice under 29k miles, I would have hoped BMW or bridgestone would have done something about this. But I'm requesting the NHTSA to look into it.

4 Tire problem of the 2007 BMW 328

Failure Date: 08/23/2009

The contact owns a set of bridgestone run flat potenza tires on a 2007 BMW 328i. While driving 25 mph, the contact heard a clicking noise. After examining the vehicle, the contact noticed that the tread was disconnected from the tire. The contact spoke with the manufacturer about related run flat tire complaints and they advised the contact to have the vehicle inspected by a dealer. The dealer stated they had never seen that form of tread separation; however, the failure was due to normal wear and tear. The contact would like for the manufacturer to assume the repair cost.

5 Tire problem of the 2007 BMW 328

Failure Date: 06/13/2008

Excessive road noise and abnormal (premature) wear of bridgestone-firestone turanza el42 run flat tires 205/55r16. Excessive road noise started before 10,000 miles and all tires had to be replaced after only 1 year (approx 14,000 miles). Car was a 2007 BMW 328i. BMW has a service bulletin (si b 36 06 06) regarding this issue and is replacing all tires (upon complaint) if < 10,000 miles. If tires have between 10,001 to 20,000 miles, replacement is at 50%. Tires were "cupping" and demonstrating very abnormal wear patterns. Upon complaint to bridgestone firestone, they agreed to 100% replacement costs. Old tires are not available.

6 Tire problem of the 2007 BMW 328

Failure Date: 12/03/2007

I purchased a 2007 BMW 328i on 2/22/2007. It came equipped with bridgestone turanza el42. In December of 2007, I found out that these tires are not wearing properly. In my searches on the internet, I have found that this problem has been ongoing for at least 2 years. BMW refuses to pay for replacing all the tires if you are over 10k miles. My tires are wearing horribly and causing a safety risk. BMW knew of this problem in January 2007 when they issued a service info bulletin to all the dealers. However, they did not inform the owners and they actually sold my car to me without mentioning the problems they are having with the tires. No tires should wear out after 10k miles. I actually took the car in for service in early sept to have a tire replaced and no one still mentioned the sib to me. My husband found a copy of it on the internet and it basically says, don't replace these unless the customer complains. However, its difficult to detect the uneven tread wear until there are huge flat spots on your tires. This is so reminiscent of the firestone/Ford debacle and I feel that BMW is playing the odds to keep from having to help fund a huge recall. They kept putting these same tires on these cars despite the complaints.
