holy shit..just when I thought I was getting ahead.. .I went to get my tires rotated before I left today.. when I heard my name being called I couldnt believe they were done so fast!... well there was reason for that.. they werent....as a matter of fact I didnt get my tires rotated... because my tires are so ate up it wasnt worth it.. from the outside they looked great ... on the rack when you looked at the inside.. they are basically falling apart.. what the fuck! I only have 24K miles on them and they arent cheap tires... they are Dunlop run flat tires..
SO .. I didnt go on my trip because I was told it would be dangerous.. now the big question is .. why are these tires so fucked up.. I will get my answer tomorrow when I call the BMW dealer and the manufacturer of my tires.. I want some answers... to replace these tires for the same that are there ... will cost me 1000 dollars.. no joke.. they are 250 dollars a piece.. for that kind of money I should be able to drive at least 60K m ore mile.. AT LEAST! I am very dissappointed.. the last vehicle I had .. my tires went for 85K before needing replaced.. so you can imagine my disappointment driving away from the garage today and then having to call my family to tell them the news.. another set back.. maybe in a few m ore weeks I will get there and be able to have my Christmas and birthday ..

That really sucks! Sorry to hear that you didn't get to go on your trip. For that amount of money you better get way more miles than that out of those tires!!

That truly sucks! We had a beemer and the costs for repairs, let alone a repair shop made us trade it in. Also, the tires were special orders and expensive as hell. I told my husband your plight and he said you probably don't drive it enough so the tires basically dry rotted.
Sorry, sweetie---

That just bites! There is no way those tires should be in that condition after only 24k miles. Hope the dealership has an explanation and a replacement for you!

Oh, that sucks! Is there a different size that's close enough to be safe to use? I just had to get two new tires a month or two ago, same problem as yours, more or less. Mine looked worn (close to 70k miles on them) but still usable on the outside, and even though I used to work as a mechanic I didn't have enough sense to check the insides until I got a flat. Oops! Anyway, the replacements for mine weren't as outrageous as yours but still pricey (mostly because they're a weird size), but I was able to find a more common, cheaper one that was almost, but not quite the same size. They're just a little wider, and actually the car handles a lot better with them than the original ones. (Or maybe it just feels that way beacause the tires were so shot by the time I replaced them...)
But yeah, for only 24k miles, they ought to give you new ones. That's just not right—if you'd bought them instead of them coming with the car, they'd probably still be covered under the treadlife warranty.
