Tyre Question

interlock · 10-22-2016, 11:17 AM

Was fitting the winter wheels and tyres I bought from BMW when I purchased the car. One of the tyres has a few marks like the link below. Is this something to take back to them. I feel it is but haven fitted my own wheels in a good while.https://instagram.com/p/BL3xsMGg625/

That doesn't look good. Any sidewall defects of any kind are a safety concern. Don't want a blow out at speed. I would get this replaced.

Bought new from BMW, I would expect better, so yes draw the sidewall defects to their attention.

Thanks for the feedback. I had no trouble with BM swapping. However by the time I got to the garage to swap the marks were nearly gone. The marks were down to the unfinished concrete floor in my garage.
I had stacked all the wheels on top of each other for room.

Lesson learnt. Summers now stored differently. 😳
