2006 BMW 325I Tires Problems, Complaints and Defects

Component	TIRES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	This complaint refers to the original equipment tires (bridgestone el-42, 205/55-16 run flat) supplied on the 2006 bmw 325i with 6-speed manual transmission. After only 13,000 miles on a brand new car, i have found this tire to be entirely unsafe and unsuitable to this vehicle. I believe that both bmw and bridgestone should be held responsible for replacing this tire on all existing vehicle. This tire exhibits unsafe characteristics in wet weather, with noticeable drift and hydroplaning in any amount of standing water, even as little as 1/16 inch. In heavy rains, even with no standing water present, the tire seems incapable of dispersing water as quickly as it falls, again leading to vehicle instability. From a ride quality point of view the tire is also unsatisfactory in that it flat spots every morning, especially in cool weather but even in warmer weather as well, leading to vibrations in the initial miles of any drive. It is also especially harsh over roadway expansion joints, and is so loud on concrete pavements that it poses a safety hazard due to driver fatigue induced by the continuous noise. I also understand that there may be an issue regarding the rating as an "all season tire" with many owners reporting that this tire is virtually useless in any kind of snow conditions. *jb
