RFT Insanity

turnism1200 · 06-07-2009, 08:53 AM

I have had Bridgestone RFT since I got my E92 new, less than 9 months ago. Yesterday I noticed that my right front tire has a buble. This will be the third tire that has gotten a bubble since I bought my car. I do not remember being offered (nor did I ask) for wheel and tire insurance when I purchased my car. At this point can I get the insurance going foward from BMWNA or am I going to have to plan to spending 1K a year to replace my bubbled tires? At this rate I could have a nice set of forged rims with the money I am spending replacing these horrible tires.

Unfortunately, I think you can only get insurance when you buy the car. But it doesn't hurt to try. Worst they can say is NO. But RFT are really crap. I just had my winter blizzarks swapped out and the sport flintstones re-installed on the car, and the ride went to shit. After months driving on the same city streets on Blizzarks then driving around today, its painfully obvious just how horrible the stockers feel compared to the much cheaper non-RFT blizzarks. Read my new post about the swap...

BMW will not give me the warranty after the fact, so I am just going to swap these RFT's for regular tires. What do you guys suggest are good all season, high performance tires? FK452s ??
