Blown out tires

[mz3boy]

anyone else having rear tire issues? I have the OEM Goodyear Eagle sports, 19" and around 18,000 miles one of the rear tires blew apart. wear down to the metal cords on the inside edge only, totally uneven wear and the catastrophic failure. Fortunately my wife was merely driving around town and not 70mph on the freeway. first idea is out of alignment, so had it aligned and was told it wasn't bad enough to cause this unusual wear. THEN less than 2000 miles later the other rear tire blows apart with the same wear pattern.
My dealer tells me I should be more carefully checking for wear, I tell him this is a design problem and this car is dangerous to drive.
So it is either Goodyear stinks or bad tires or BMW has some real design issues on these rear wheel drive EV.
anyone else burning through tires in 1/3 of their rated life?

installed a set of Pirelli P Zero All Season +3 last week.. Love them. Super grip and very quiet. the OEM Goodyears are junk in comparison

The very same thing happened me in UK. 22 plate i4 M Sport (40) It's a lease vehicle through work., Very lucky i didn't have a double rear blowout on motorway., one lost pressure very quickly and the tyre pressure monitor alerted me. Took it up with lease company and had a wholly unsatisfactory response. Like you I believe BMW have a design issue....I was running on Michelin 255-45-19's on the back. Had 19k miles on the clock from new (Car & tyres)

I believe this could be avoid by considering the weight and torque when engineering the tires and camber toe in. Pirelli NOW makes an EV version of the P Zero and Scorpion with added tread and side construction focusing on the inner edge. Unfortunately they don't make them in very many sizes in a 19" diameter yet. I believe BMW owes is a response and answers
