so after reading the post last night about the recall on the bridgestone turanza tires on the e90, i decided to stop off at my dealer( being that it is practically next to my school) to ask my service advisor about this and to make a service appointment. when i asked him about it, he denied denied denied and said that if there was a recall, bmwna would have sent me something in the mail. and suggestions as to what i should do?

try a different dealer.

or even better would be to get a document that states the recall and take it to that dealer just so that way they have to do it.

kind of like revenge on a really small scale i guess, i dont know if its worth it to you but i think itd be funny

+1. Get a copy of the recall bulletin and use it to jog their memory.

OK, it's not a recall, it is a TSB.

Go back there, complain that the tires are noisy and you want them replaced.

If they baulk, thrust this in their face: http://www.bmwtis.com/tsb/bulletins/...p/B360606g.htm

That's great info. But based on what I'd read, if you have 10,001 miles and up to 20,000, you have to pay 50%. It's not worth it to pay 50% for the same tire imho, only to be in the same position 10k from now. If you are under 10k and can get a new set for free, maybe. The real solution is to get a different make/model of tire.

Also noteworthy on the bulletin is that the dealer is to render the tires useless and dispose of them. Remember with the Firestone/Ford Explorer fiasco? Firestone replaced the tires but the so-called defective tires in some cases were not destroyed and resold??

Go to a different dealer, if hes this bad with service you really trust him with your 50k baby?
