Should I dump my 18" wheels? Sidewall Bubbles

steverb5000 · 04-25-2011, 02:34 PM

Hi There,

I have a 2006 330i with sport package.

I replaced my run flats with non run flat Pirelli P Zero Nero All Season Tires two years ago.

Ride is much better but I keep getting sidewall bubbles.

Was told that it's common with low profile tires.

If I switch to a 17" wheel, and a higher profile tire, can I expect better results?

This is probably the 4th Pirelli I've had to replace due to sidewall damage.

Lots of potholes around here - although this last one, I suspect was from a curb.

Regardless, it's getting annoying to keep having to replace tires.

thx!
