At 17,000 miles, I need to replace my Perrelli P7 All Season run flat tires. I'm not an aggressive driver and did not have this problem with my same model 2018. I checked the warranty for the tires and found they are not cover at all by any factory new car warranty on tires. Non M40i cars are covered. Certainly makes me think of my next car since I now have to spend $1700 to replace them before my lease is up. What's changed with this model year?

The GF's X3 M40i (2021) blew through her run flat fronts when they were new - I think I know why, but regardless - we tried to get them covered...and no go.

OEM tires never have a treadwear warranty.

No consumables have warranty. The only time Ive seen a tire replaced under warranty was when it developed a sidewall bubble and it took a herculean effort to prove that there was no pothole damage or anything external that cause the tire to almost blow up.

And Discount were indispensable in getting it replaced AND, it was prorated so only got half of the retail value, even though the tire had only 2/32s used.

Never heard of a tire wear warranty on a new car. I’d be happy with 17,000. Never gotten more than 10k. What annoys me is I picked up the car from dealer with a full tank of gas and I have to pay out of my pocket every week to replace it.

Is there a tread wear warranty from Pirelli? Don't see why you couldn't use that at a tire shop to possibly get discounted new tires.

There is no treadwear warranty on OEM tires. 17k ok the oem tires isn't that bad. If OP wants to stay with all-seasons, go with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4. They come with a 45k treadwear warranty & get replacement certificates from Discount Tire

Ditch the runflats and dial out some toe.

They are denying most claims even with these warranties/guarantees. They are claiming that bad driving habits are the cause of premature wear.

In their eyes, we are doing standstill burnouts every morning before taking the kids to school.

I mean, they're not entirely wrong...

Who's denying claims? I've never had a treadwear claim denied on any of my vehicles, not even my 680 hp Z06. They measure the remaining tread depth, check how many miles are on the tires, and then prorate the cost of new tires.

And regarding the replacement certificates from Discount Tire, DT just replaced a tire for me that my local BMW dealership destroyed -
Free of charge. They didn't have to, but I'm a good customer, so they took care of it. Tire had 31k mi on it at the time, and it was replaced.

I’ve had plenty of them denied. NY is a different world along with different dealerships and tire distributors. Unfortunately things are not the same across the board and across the country.

You didn't answer who is denying claims? The tire manufacturer's treadwear warranty is not location-specific.

Both Michelin and continental denied my claim once

Gotcha. So we went from "they're denying most claims" & "I've had plenty denied" to you've had 2 claims denied. Generally, if there are patterns of abnormal wear, i.e., alignment out of spec, or rears significantly worn compared to fronts, they can deny the claims. I've had plenty of tires, on many different vehicles, not last for the mileage specified and not once had a claim denied. I had a set of Michelins with a 30k mi treadwear warranty last 5k miles. I received 85% prorate off a new set, no questions asked.

So my recommendation to the OP stands, if he wants to stick with all-seasons, and wants long tread life, the Michelin Pilot All-Season 4 with a 45k mi treadwear warranty is a great option.

Yea. So what’s your point lol. Both sets of my tires were denied. And friends of mine who work for bmw/Honda/toyota dealerships laugh in the faces of customers who come in for premature tire wear. You may get special treatment because you Claim you’re a “good customer”or whatever that means but it’s not the same for everyone across the board.

BMW as well as Pirelli refused to give credit for low mileage wear. The Pirelli guide that comes with the car states that this specific model tire on an M40i is not covered at all. I called Pirelli to verify and they stated the same thing. Why supply a tire warranty book if its useless.
