DEC 2006 335i COUPE ON BRIDGESTONE RUN FLATS
11000 MILES ONLTY TO DATE ALL TYRES TOTALLY WORN AWAY ON INSIDE EDGE AND DANGEROUS.
TRACKING SPOT ON, BMW ACCUSED ME OF RUNNING LOW PRESSURES. IF I HAD NOT TAKEN IN FOR OIL SERVICE I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN HOW BAD THE TYRES WERE AND DRIVEN TO ITALY.
IT TOOK TWO WEEKS FOR BMW TO LOCATE FOUR TYRES. OVER THE YEARS HAVE PROBABLY SPENT IN EXCESS OF £350,000.00 ON BMW'S.
NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE INCLUDING TWO M3'S AND AN M5.

i had the same trouble with my 2006 325i, 11000 miles loud tire noise, i went to dealership for complain they said my problem is not covered by the warranty, they recommend wheel alignment, for freaking $500.00, what happened was inner tire get uneven wear almost bald, i have to buy 4 tires, but the funny thing is they wont assure me that the problem would go away if i follow their recommendation and no warranty for RFT tires, WOW!!!!!!

I agree totally inside edge destroyed through to wire the rest fine if i hadnt taken the car for first service I would never have known its very dangerious to say the least my tyre dealer tells me 90% of bmws with RF tyres are the same yet my bmw dealer country garage in ballymeana say I am the first they have seen and its down to me not inflating tyres enough what a joke I will never buy another bmw again.

BMW 330i M3, I too have now experienced the saga with RFT's on 19" wheels. Worn out on both inner edges on the rear tyres at 14k miles. BMW are ignoring! I'm not impressed ..when are the tyre companies and BMW going to sort this wear problem out!!!

That is EXACTLY what BMW told me today!--that it must be MY fault, and that I was running them w/low pressures! Is this some kind of con?!? I am still waiting to see if they can find the tyres. I took my 1-series in for a warranty-covered tail light and was told my tyres are illegal! I would never have known otherwise.
