No head no tail, hard to tell whether it can happen or not..... Expand It had already happened. The driver had stopped on the grass verge after realising the condition of the tyre. How the condition was brought to the attention was not mentioned. The pix actually is self explanatory leh! 😊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the tyre pressure monitoring system work? Expand found a similar damaged one on the internet, don't think is coincidence it is a bimmer as well: Quote So I was cruising along back to vegas minding my own business when I hear a pop in the right rearish area. A second later my car calmly informed me that the tire pressure was low. 84 miles from vegas. But when I slowed down to 50 the ride was plenty smooth and straight so score one for the runflats.... Then at 27 miles to vegas, after the car had been starting to ride a little rougher it suddenly became obviously not a good idea to drive anymore so I pulled over and had a look. I couldn't see much since it was 10pm but when I realized I could reach around and INTO the tire I figured it probably was a bad idea to keep driving. Fortunately I was able to convince my dad to bring me one of my summer shoes. Took a picture of the tire today.... think it can be fixed?!?!

Fcw75 Hypersonic August 6, 2022 Share August 6, 2022 This one from my friend in Singapore. Said they drove past some construction site and it happened. Tyres are 2219 manufactured so can’t be rubber hardened. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I think historically, BMW is one the first and strong adopter of RFT amongst the manufacturers. Most bimmers are fitted with RFT from the factory. So I guess chances of a bimmer having issue with RFT is much higher than other car brands. My theory of why RFT tend to have this unique circumferential tearing is because when a RFT has a leak, the driver can still drive on for a long distance before getting the tire patched. So the period when it is deflated but still running on the stiff sidewall will put prolonged excessive pressure on the jointline between the reinforced sidewall and the tire shoulder. By the time the tire is patched and inflated, everything looks normal from the outside but damage to the internal support structure already occurred. So this tire will be prone to a blow out that tears along the circumference of the sidewall (where the stress damage had occured) 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrjun 5th Gear August 6, 2022 Share August 6, 2022 Running on rims. got people who have never checked tyre pressures after buying car. True story.then tell me that the car in question has a light on the dashboard. Merc owner. Singapore cars are not required by law to have a true TPMS system.So a lot of the lower end BMW models from PML have only a surrogate system based on I think wheel rotation discrepancies. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U keep driving flat. This will happen. Just that a rft allow u to drive flat for much longer. Some BM driver never set their internal tpms properly. Their driver can drive with a totally flat tyres for days and days before this happen . ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
