Consumer Description

2011 BMW 550I XDRIVE WITH M-SPORT PACKAGE HAS GOODYEAR EAGLE LS-2 245/40R19 98V TIRES. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE DEVELOPED 3 MINOR BUBBLES ON SIDEWALL AND THE LEFT FRONT DEVELOPED ONE MAJOR BUBBLE AND 2 SMALL BUBBLES ON SIDEWALL WITHIN 3,500 MILES AND BOTH TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED. I'VE DRIVEN ON THE SAME ROADS FOR OVER TEN YEARS AND NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH OTHER TIRES, BUT WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF OWNING THIS CAR, I HAVE HAD SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES. THESE TIRES ARE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
