Consumer Description

TIRES - AS WITH ALL OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE GOODYEAR "RUN FLAT" TIRES, I HAVE HAD NO LESS THAN 7 BULGES REQUIRING 7 NEW TIRES. I DID PURCHASE AN EXTENDED TIRE WARRANTY SO BMW COVERED THE TIRES. THE ALARMING THING IS THAT BMW OF NORTH HOUSTON REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE ARE ANY ISSUE WITH THESE TIRES. FROM READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS, I HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING IT IS THE DRIVER OR POTHOLES AS I HAVE BEEN TOLD. REPLACED THE REAR TIRES WITH COMPARABLE FIRESTONE TIRES AND I HAVE NOT HAD ONE ISSUE. I STILL HAVE THE GOODYEAR TIRES ON THE FRONT AND JUST TWO MONTHS AGO HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED. MY TIRE WARRANTY EXPIRES NOVEMBER 2015, WILL REPLACE THEM WITH FIRESTONE THEN. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.
