My Ride: 2011 550i, Imperial Blue, Grey, Sport Package, Sport Transmission, Dynamic Handling, Premium 2, Active Steering 2011 335i Cabrolet, Titanium Silver, Black, M Sport Package 2008 550i, Carbon Black, Grey Leather, Cold Weather Package, Premium Sound, Sport Package, Sport Automatic, Navigation, Satellite Radio, 2005 545i, Titanium Silver, Grey Leather, Cold Weather Package, Premium Sound, Sport Package, Automatic, Navigation, Satellite Radio,

I have had my 2011 550i w/ Sport Package sitting 3 times, for more than a week each time,in the last 3 months waiting for replacement tires due to bubbles in the sidewalls of the OEM Goodyear tires. This is my fourth 550i w/ the Sport Package and have never had this problem before. I am annoyed with how easily these tires are damaged, as well as, the problem my dealer and regular tire supplier have in quickly getting relacement tires. In the past, I have replaced the OEM Runflats with other non runflat tires which I prefer, but one can no longer exercise this option as there is no spare tire. My 2008 550i w/ sport package came with non runflat tires (my 2005 came with OEM runflats).

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
