Does anyone know of a recall on these tires? Absolutely irresponsible on behalf of BMW to not hold the manufacturer accountable! I was in a Calgary dealership yesterday and 3 others waiting for service were discussing how dissapointed they were with BMW's complete lack of concern on this issue. One of the fellows said that his neighbor went in to a dealership and created a scene....at which point the service manager came out and agreed to replace the tires. If you scream loud enough....you will get looked after, otherwise....be prepared to shell out $2,000 ! Also...just an fyi...the reason BMW went to this technology has nothing to do with safety but rather has to do with their bottom line. Remember that they no longer provide a spare tire which saves them money. Safety is just the spin so don't be fooled ! |

Does anyone have experience towing a motorcycle (800lbs) using a 335i? Thanks Frank

Replying to: frankiec (Nov 24, 2009 12:40 pm) You landed in a discussion specifically about the run-flat tires. Have a look at our list of BMW 3-Series discussions. I'd pick one that has your year included (e.g., 2009 BMW 3-Series) and post there for more on-topic feedback. |

I just traded in my 328i for a 2006 330i with RFT tires with 17800 miles on it a week ago and i am very disappointed with the performance of the car. The ride is bumpy , noisy and rough. I can honestly feel every pebble on the road ..After reading several forums about the drawbacks of RFT tires , i am considering replacing them with the conventional tires . Does anyone have a recommendation for the replacement tires ?Thanks !
