problem #2

X3

  • 36,000 miles
BMW tech looked tires over and found rear tires worn through inner edge to the point that it appears only the inner layer of rubber is holding the tire together. Full separation between the sidewall and face of the tire on both rear tires in some spots. Rear tires are dangerous and should not be used on the road or highway until replaced. The car has only 36,000 miles and the rest of the tire has tread. We feel this is well beyond normal wear and it appears that is a defect. I've attached pictures of the 2 rear tires.

Tire is a run flat type of tire and the wear of all four tires was severe on the inside of tire while tread across the rest of the tire was still satisfactory. Rear tire tread started separating and the vehicle had to be taken off the road due to the severity of the tread separation. Continued operation of the vehicle would have resulted in complete destruction of the tire and loss of control of the vehicle internet research indicates this to be a "common" problem with this vehicle and the manufacturer refuses to recognize the danger to the public.
