| Tire Sidewall problems |
Both the left front and left rear tires have developed soft spots/bubbles in the sidewall. Authorized dealers claim damage from road hazard. I have noticed other Z3's with similar issues on these tires, and do not believe road hazard to be the cause. Direct correspondence to michelin remains unamswered.
