“While driving my 2011 Bmw 535I on the interstate, on a construction zone, at 11:00 pm, I hit a pot hole with my front driver side tire. Almost immediately noticed front end vibration. Pulled over, did not notice damage to the wheel/ tire and continued driving until arrived at home without tire pressure monitoring activation. Upon inspection of the front driver side tire, noticed an approximatelly a 3 inch long bubble on the side wall of the tire. Following monday, brought the car to the good year shop for inspection after opening up a case via the 800 number with goodyear. …”

This seems to be a particular problem with the goodyear runflat tires on the 19 inch rims on this vehicle. Small potholes are unavoidable on massachusetts roadways. Some of the incidents occurred days after. Others were unassociated with such an incident. Both Bmw and goodyear refuse to acknowledge the problem.”
