What owners wrote

Side wall bubbles on goodyear eagle ls2 run on flats supplied with 2011 BMW 550xi sport package when driving over small potholes or road imperfections

Reported at 200 miles, March 2011

Driving my commute, that I previously had traveled on low profile tires in my previous BMW for 3 years without incident, I got a bubbled sidewall on my brand new goodyear run flat tire. Upon doing some research I found out these BMW oem tires were failing all over the us. It seems the tires were only spec'd on the sport package with the all wheel drive option. The tires are unavailable do to I assume the large amount of failures.
