2007 BMW 328I Tires Problems

“Driving 30 MPH TPMS light came on indicating front driver tire low, got home and took tried to inflate tire, with no luck. Took tire off and the inside tire wall had blown out. 1 month later the same blow out occurred on passenger rear tire. There was good tread on both tires. Don't know if it matters, but both tires where run flat. I have contacted bridgestone, but no response. I'm attaching pictures.”

“My vehicle displayed a code, tpm , which means, tire pressure monitor, which is to detect tire pressure issues from the run flat tires that are standard on my vehicle. I took the vehicle into my dealer and they said, the temperature swing tripped the warning light .

“I purchased a 2007 Bmw 328I on 2/22/2007. It came equipped with bridgestone turanza el42. In december of 2007, I found out that these tires are not wearing properly. In my searches on the internet, I have found that this problem has been ongoing for at least 2 years. Bmw refuses to pay for replacing all the tires if you are over 10k miles. My tires are wearing horribly and causing a safety risk. Bmw knew of this problem in january 2007 when they issued a service info bulletin to all the dealers. …”

“The contact owns a set of bridgestone run flat potenza tires on a 2007 Bmw 328I. While driving 25 MPH, the contact heard a clicking noise. After examining the vehicle, the contact noticed that the tread was disconnected from the tire. The contact spoke with the manufacturer about related run flat tire complaints and they advised the contact to have the vehicle inspected by a dealer. The dealer stated they had never seen that form of tread separation; however, the failure was due to normal wear and tear. The contact would like for the manufacturer to assume the repair cost.”
