2006 BMW 325I Tires Problems

“I own a '06 3 series with the sport suspension and I have barely put 11k miles on the car when I started to notice a loud humming noise. I took the car to the dealer and I was told that it was a tire issue and that they needed to be replaced. I currently have an issue driving the car in rain or snow if the car continues to have cupped tires and I should not have to pay $1500.00 because of bad tires or suspension.”

“Continuous unreliability in the bridgestone potenza re050a run flat tires. I've had both rear tires fail early and now my front ones are also expiring long before they should.

“I own a 2006 Bmw 325I with oem bridgestone turanza el42 run flat tires. The tires have been making a loud noise for quite some time with 19k miles on them.

“I brought my car in for scheduled inspection appointment. While at the dealer I was told the tires on my Bmw 325I needed rotating. I agreed and I was charged $165 for the service.

I was told by the service specialist, ely, at hassel Bmw of freeport n.y., that everything was okay. I asked her what was the source of the noise and she stated the tires were feathering. …”

“It seems that the bridgestone tires size 225/45r-17 on my new Bmw form flat spots on the tires when the vehicle is parked over night. It takes about 5 miles or more depending on how cold it is [75 degrees or less] outside to finely begin to perform properly. The car shimmies and vibrates to the point that it is hard to control until the tires warm up. I had complained about this since the 2nd day after purchase. [june '05] Bmw tried to make repairs after many phone calls and certified letters but it hasn't been fixed. …”
