Original vehicle equipment on vehicles equipped with sport package or m-package; tire size: 245/40/19 failure of multiple tires manufactured by good year. Tire brand: ls2 run flat, all season tires. Two front tires formed "bubbles" on the outside; as a result vehicle vibrates at higher speeds. Defective tires also caused slight bends on two wheels (one front one rear). Vehicle always driven very carefully and on good surfaces. No significant impact on the tire has occurred.

While driving down the road, the rim separated causing the tire to go flat. Had we been traveling at a high rate of speed the results could have been much worse. BMW, as I have come to find out, declines any responsibility. Do your job!.

I own a 2006 BMW 530i with 37,000 miles on original set of bridgestone rft tires 275/40 r1893y. These are low profile tires and on Nov 16, 07 < brought my car in for a tire check at the dealer. They determined that the rt rear wheel was cracked and has damaged the tire. This they said was not covered under warranty as they say that it was damaged from a pot hole. I said that I have been driving cars like Cadillac, mercedes, corvette and never broke a wheel. They would not cover it and it cost me $900. Now on April 11, 2008, I went to my tire dealer that I have been buying tires from for 20+ years. He said the left rear and front wheels were cracked and also ruined the left rear tire. I am very unhappy and would like to know if the BMW 18" wheels on the above mentioned tires are defective.
