I was planning to replace it sometime later this month. It also scratched the hell out of my rim. Where did you go to get your tires/warranty? I wanted to replace all 4 of my tires with the rubber bands like you have. 🙂

That sucks. It was between 59th and 71st but on the northbound side.

I got the tire/rim insurance when I bought my car. On the BMW forums, practically everyone said to get it bc these tires and rims are prone to damage.

On the forums, they mentioned that Costco provides hazard insurance on all of their tires so you might want to buy from them next time.

Hmmm, does Costco sell low-profile tires? I want something like 225/40/18. 🙂 I'll have to check next time I am there.

Yes, Costco does sell low profiles, but will only sell you the size that came with the vehicle.
