Hi All,

I bought a 2013 BMW X3 CPO, which came with Brand new GOODYEAR EAGLE® LS-2 ROF, 245, 45, R19

Issue: I felt my X3 riding rough, which gradually got worse. Later the instrument panel alerted to "slowly come to stop due to low tire pressure".

Upon investigation, I was surprised to see the inner wall seam had come all apart. There was no incident that caused this, no pothole struck, nothing. A complete surprise to me. Luckily these were run flat tires allowing me to get home, would have been stuck in the dark otherwise.

Is this issue due to a QA issue or Wheel Alignment Issue? Anyone experience this before?

I have attached a YouTube video for reference:

OK Tire condition: (not worn out)
