NHTSA complaint #10125534, filed 2005-06, 37,000 miles“I lease a Bmw 745LI. The lease began may 15, 2003. Over the last few months three tires had to be replaced. The last two went flat as a result of driving at night over a low curb (a small island in the center of the road approximately 4 inches high) that had been installed since I last traveled that route. Both tires on the drivers side went flat. I had stopped for a traffic light behind two other cars and did not see the curb (I have pictures).
