2006 BMW 3 Series Tires Problems

“I drive a 2006 Bmw 330xi with the oem bridgestone turanaza runflat tires. From 2006 to today I have replaced all 4 of my tires and rims twice and still have problems with the tires being to rough on new york city roads which means it just cracking and bending each and every rim on my car over time. Now this problem with the tires being to rough and lack of control with there tires lead to another problem something in my steering rack has cracked. …”

“I have 2006 Bmw 325xi with only 15,000 miles. The car has bad batch of tires put on and it makes loud road noise. And dealer asks me to pay 50% of its cost to replace. I think Bmw should pay for whole thing.”

“Excessive premature tire wear on a 2006 Bmw 330i. I have made numerous complaints to the dealer and they say they are working on a fix or a tire replacement but that I should continue to drive. This has been going on for 2,000 miles and it has progressively gotten worse. I drive my 3 year old son to day care and I really would like to feel safe while driving him. Having given the dealership over 2 months to correct the problem I feel it is time to look into other avenues to get a resolution.”

“I purchased a Bmw 330i in may 2006. Shortly after purchase the tires were making noise. Initially, the noise wasn't terribly objectionable, but it continued to worsen. I took the car to hendricks Bmw in charlotte, nc ,and was told that the tires were cupping or feathering. They offered a 50% discount on the purchase of 4 new tires at 11,500 miles. I called Bmw consumer affairs, and was told to contact bridgestone for a resolution of this problem. Later, on the web I found Bmw technical service bulletin sib 36 06 06 which addressed this specific problem. …”

“My wife drives a 2006 Bmw 325xi sport wagon. The car came equipped with bridgeston touranza e42 runflat tires. Due to rapid tread wearing, all four tires were replaced by the dealership at 15000 miles. The tires were replaced with the same brand and model touranza e42 . With approximately 10,000 miles on these tires, we have experienced the same wear problems. The car drives very loud, and doesn't seem stable. Bmw refuses to take any further action, claiming it is the consumer's problem. The dealership has acknowledged other Bmw driver complaints with the bridgeston touranza e42.”
