Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS 2011 MODEL BMW 535IX IN MARCH 2011, AND IT CAME WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE LS/2 ROF TIRES. THE FRONT TIRE STARTED TO DEVELOP A BUBBLE ON THE SIDE WALL AND LOSE AIR PRESSURE. A FEW DAYS LATER A CRACK WAS FOUND ON THE REAR TIRE. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR 6,000 MILES WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRED. THE WORSE THING YET IS THAT EVEN THOUGH THE TIRES ARE UNDER ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY, ALL TIRES THAT COME WITH THIS CAR ARE IN NATIONAL BACKORDER WHICH MEANS CONSUMER HAS NO WAY TO GET THE SAME OEM TIRE. THIS TIRE/WHEEL SET SHALL BE RECALLED BY BMW AS IT APPEARS TO BE DESIGN FLAW ON BMW'S SIDE ACCORDING NUMEROUS ONLINE COMPLAINTS AND BMW FORUMS. THE SAME TIRE IS USED BY MANY OTHER DIFFERENT CAR MAKERS AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THEM. *TR
