Any chance you have 20" wheels?
Also see this thread (the shipping blocks are not always being removed. I would suspect if they were in on your car, that would cause the tire to take on more than it should AND if this is the case, BMW would have to reimburse you for the tires http://www.6post.com/forums/showthre...t=ride+quality

At 4 days of age (for me) I drove my 2014 640ix Vert to work (CrossBronx) end result 4 bent rims, 2 blown front tires.
As per Service Manager at Manhattan BMW, normal Feb = ~ 200 tires This year > 1000 replaced Roads or Wheels and RFTs? |

Bro!! Get Rid of them ASAP.
Those Dunlop tire sucks on 20's. Every other week i was getting Side-Wall bubbles and i ended up replacing all 4 tires like 3 times. You heard right. I have spent like $2000 on tires alone and a bunch of headaches with those damn bubbles. The longer you stay with them, the more you end up spending money. Its a money pit. Ended up getting the 433 wheels style with Michelin SPORT PLUS. PROBLEM SOLVED. |

Here's proof! I ended up buying another set of 4 used tires off eBay to sell these wheels and tire to another buyer.
These Dunlop tires are money pit on 20's!!! |

I know it is bad up there, but wheels and tires ought to be able to deal with some potholes and stuff without bending/bubbling. Like their job, you know?
Seems like people are having entirely too many wheel/tire failures.
