“Upon mounting new tires on my 2008 Bmw 328i convertible (w/ sport pkg) at big o tires in danville, ca, the technicians informed me that both of my rear wheels were cracked, and they could not mount the new tires on the vehicle. Upon inspection at Bmw of san francisco, my service advisor told me that it was in their opinion that an impact from a pothole or other irregular road surface caused the cracks in both rear wheels and that warranty coverage is denied. …”
