“Took my car to Bmw delaer to get tires rotated. They called me and said I need 4 new tires. My 325I is a 2001 and has 18,000 miles on it. My father has been in the car business all his life and said that my tires should have been good for at least 30,000 miles - especially with the low mileage I have. I have found so many complaints on the internet against continental and premature tire wear. There is obviously a problem that needs to be addressed. It is both a safety issue and a financial issue. …”
