Four problems related to tire have been reported for the 2002 BMW 330. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Trouble with conti-sport tires.
Low-profile tires (shallow aspect ratio) offer no cushioning protection when encountering potholes. We have had four (4) blow-outs in the first year! tire manufacturers and car manufacturers profit from this poor design! it cost us over $600 for the first 2 tires irreparably damaged from a pot-hole! larger wheels and lower-profile tires can't be changed because the suspension and brakes are tuned to the low-profile design. My wife is ready to trade in the car! drivers are distracted looking at the pavement for pot-holes instead of watching other vehicles, traffic signals, etc. Have this safety hazard recalled! get restitution for millions of dollars consumer waste on this! car salesman never mentioned this problem -- dealers are literally keeping a low profile and laughing all the way to the bank!.
While driving at approx. 55 mph, tire exploded. Nothing left but the rim. No obvious road hazard. Tire and car were less than a month old.
