| Description of the problem | Continuous unreliability in the bridgestone potenza re050a run flat tires. I've had both rear tires fail early and now my front ones are also expiring long before they should. I have cupping issues as well and the bmw dealership is unwilling to assist with the known problem. On top of that the tires have been on emergency back order and are impossible to get in the event of a problem like i've suffered twice. *nm |
