Hi, this sounds like the same old story. I have a 530 GT and have just had my tyres checked at BMW Oldbury. (Guess what ?) there is very good tread on the outside of the rear tyres yet on the far inside edge the tyres are down to the cord. I bought the car from BMW at approx 8000 miles and it only has 18000 miles now. The front tyres are in very good condition (may be a third through their life). I have been told that there is a slight scuff on the wheel, so I may have knocked the wheel out of alighnment. Yet it is clear that both tyres are in the same condition. SOMETHING needs to be done as my three children travel in this car, up and down the M5 and the tyres are clearly dangerous yet BMW do not want to take any resposibility.

My local garage seem happy to back me if I want to go to my local paper and see if they are interested in a story, what do you think ?
