I would prefer to avoid dealing with BMW directly because I basically don't trust the brand or their dealerships for anything other than initial core performance.
Any thoughts on how get better tires without spending stupid money?
Thx.

Don't want to deal with BMW? Have you bothered to read the tire warranty? Chances are, you'll get a free replacement by going to the dealer. Goodyear and, I am fairly sure, Perrellis come with a one-year road hazard warranty. Under a year with at least 5/32 of tread, it's a completely free replacement.
When this happened to me at 5K miles, I even got a free loaner while the tire was being ordered.
