1 Tire Bead problem of the 2007 BMW 550

Failure Date: 05/26/2009

While driving at highway speeds on the nys thruway, I hit a very small pothole and both right side tires ruptured at the tire bead. At least twenty other cars passed over the same pothole and no damage was done to their tires. The tires partially separated from the rims making driving the extremely hazardous. Even though the cars has run flat tires, the tires separated so far from the bead it made driving the car dangerous. This is the third time small objects in the roadway caused these runflat tires to rupture dangerously on very small potholes. Had I continued driving on them as stated by BMW, they would have separated from the rims and caused an accident.
