My pirelli run flat ties only lasted less than 8,000 miles. The front tires are bald! the rear tires have approximately 3,000 miles left. Unacceptable. This is not an issue with my car, but only with the tires. I could not find anywhere on this website to complain about the tires.
Purchased 2012 BMW 750li x drive in Sep 2016 not realizing or being informed that I was purchasing a race car. Shortly after the purchase, I notice some tire wear, roaring noise, and a rough ride on cold mornings with the run flat tires. I complained to the dealer and was told that the car is design to wear out a set of tires annually in order to get great performance. After 2 years of owning the car and driving about 20k miles, I just happen to look under the vehicle and notice the tire wear as I was about to take a trip. See photos attached. The wear is bad for the environment and the driver's wallet replacing tires annually. If this design was for race cars and high speeds, it should have stayed in germany since the speed limit in alabama is 70mph. The target data for the rear camber is -1. 52 degrees. A new set of michelin run flat installed is $1557. 45. Request BMW recall such cars and repair rear camber at or near 0. 00 degrees. Vehicle was stationary.
I have had to replace the two front tires twice for bubbles. The bubbles occur when going over bumps in roadway not pot holes. I have no damage to front rims and my tire shop said that it is a defect in the tire. I also have had a problem with the rear rim cracking. This has occurred twice to the same rim with no damage to the tire. This is a big safety issue and BMW will not acknowledge it as a defect.
