Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 BMW 535XI, I HIT A SMALL POTHOLE WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 25MPH. A LARGE BUBBLE IN THE SIDEWALL OF MY GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2 RUN-FLAT TIRE APPEARED. THIS GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2 RFT, SIZE 245/40R19 HAS A DESIGN FLAW OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT RESULTS IN EVEN MINOR ROAD HAZARDS CAUSING SIDEWALL BUBBLES. THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF BMW 535XI OWNERS REPORTING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS TIRE ON THE INTERNET. CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH A SIDEWALL BUBBLE POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK. THEREFORE, THE TIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR
