1 Tire Bubble problem of the 2013 BMW 535

Failure Date: 11/22/2014

Goodyear 245-40r-19 tires on my 2013 BMW 535xi are defective. At 11k miles, I had to replace one tire and then at 15k I had to replace another due to side wall "bubbling". Dealer informed me this happens frequently with these tires and there "is nothing BMW or goodyear" will do for the consumer. Goodyear discontinued their insurance. Cost to replace with mounting and balancing/tax $500 per tire. At first, dealer mentioned you must have hit a pot hole. When I mentioned to him that two tires "bubbling" after 15k miles is very questionable he then informed me that this is a tire issue. I sent in a complaint to goodyear and BMW to no avail. They do not want to take responsibility for the tire issue yet the tires are defective and BMW continues to place them on their vehicles. Researching the issue it seems there are many other people in my situation.

2 Tire Bubble problem of the 2013 BMW 535

Failure Date: 07/25/2013

Goodyear eagle ls2 rof tires. Only 4700 miles on my 2013 BMW 535 activehybrid. Bubble on rf tire, I am the only driver. No potholes ever hit or curbs rubbed into. I am in the auto industry. Careful examination of the tire showed no signs of impact on the outside of the tire or the wheel. No damage to the inside either. Obvious defect in the tire. Looking at the numerous complaints about this tire online there is a problem. It needs to be addressed before someone kills themselves with a blowout.

3 Tire Bubble problem of the 2011 BMW 535

Failure Date: 09/20/2012

The goodyear run flat tires on the vehicle continuously develop bubbles on the sidewall. I have had the tires replaced several times and BMW replaced because I had a tire/wheel package. Now that the tire/wheel package has expired I have been referred to goodyear regarding this matter. I do feel that this is a goodyear issue but also a BMW issue because they are installing a defected product on their vehicles. From my recent research I see there have been numerous complaints and the problem has yet to be rectified. These tires are unsafe and are a hazards. Will it take someone being killed before something is required of both BMW and goodyear to correct this problem at their expense and not the consumers????.
