Driving 30 MPH TPMS light came on indicating front driver tire low, got home and took tried to inflate tire, with no luck. Took tire off and the inside tire wall had blown out. 1 month later the same blow out occurred on passenger rear tire. There was good tread on both tires. Don't know if it matters, but both tires where run flat. I have contacted bridgestone, but no response. I'm attaching pictures.

The wheels/rims on my bmw are contributing to my tires faults. The bridgestone potenza rts tires are constantly having bubbles form on the tires with normal driving. I have replaced several tires as a result. They tell me it is road hazard. If that was the case I would have replaced tires on my other cars that I drive much more frequently. Last week another blowout on interstate 395 in va. $500 for a new tire and then they find another tire with a bubble. Bmw is at fault as well.

The bridgestone tires that are standard on my bmw 328i are stressed with bubbles forming on the sidewalls. My 2007 bmw has had all the tires replaced as a result of bubbles or blowouts. The most recent was wednesday, june 24th. I tire was leaking air and found to be damaged. I barely made it back to bmw dealer 3.2 miles away from where it happened. When they inspected the car they found another tire that had a bubble formed on it causing a failed va inspection. March 2014, the tire blew out on I-95 in ga. The car was flat bed towed to savannah where the tire was replaced. Again caused by bubbles formed on the sidewall. Over the eight years I have had the car, I have replaced the 8 tires due to bubbles. The car has 31,115 miles on it. I take extra care of the car. This is a safety issue and needs to be addressed by bridgestone and bmw. I have repeatedly tried to discuss this with the companies but they give me the run around and blame each other. Bridgestone said that bmw built the car to low to the ground. Bmw says they don't make tires. This is serious.

Tl*the contact owns a set of bridgestone run flat potenza tires on a 2007 bmw 328i. While driving 25 MPH, the contact heard a clicking noise. After examining the vehicle, the contact noticed that the tread was disconnected from the tire. The contact spoke with the manufacturer about related run flat tire complaints and they advised the contact to have the vehicle inspected by a dealer. The dealer stated they had never seen that form of tread separation; however, the failure was due to normal wear and tear. The contact would like for the manufacturer to assume the repair cost.
