| I have a 2006 bmw 330xi with 28,000 miles. it came with bridgestone potenza re050a run flat tires. i have had 6 tire failures, one of which was a blowout, all from the same cause ---sidewall bubbles/bulges. there is clearly something wrong with these tires judging from the number of similar complaints on tirerack.com. i have so little confidence in these very expensive tires that i've purchased road hazard protection with the last five tires at a cost of $245. i've spent a total of $1,640.27 for replacement of these tires, even though they were covered by the road hazard protection and bridgestone agreed to replace 2 tires at half price. the huge safety concern of catastrophic sidewall blowouts is the primary reason i am posting this. something should be done. | |||
