Consumer Description

AUTOMOBILE WAS PURCHASED IN MAY 2011, AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY GOODYEAR P245/40R19 RUN FLAT TIRES SIX (6) TIMES. I HAVE EXPERIENCED 4 SIDEWALL BLOWOUTS, SOME ON INTERSTATE SOME ON REGULAR ROADS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TWO TIRES DUE TO SIDEWALL BUBBLES, DUE TO TIRE SIDEWALL BREAKDOWN. THIS AUTOMOBILE IS NOT SAFE AT ANY SPEED AND I HAVE HAD TO USE MY 2012 FORD FOCUS FOR MOST OF MY DRIVING. BMW HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN REGARD TO THIS PROBLEM AND I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THESE TIRES HAVE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. *TR
