Mercedes spec tires on my BMW?
Need some help/opinions.
I bought a 2020 F32 from a BMW dealer in December (in another state). It has summer-only tires on it, so I parked it in my garage until now. Today I took it to a local shop for state inspection. The shop found a bulge in one of the front tires and therefore cannot give it a pass -- that tire must be replaced.
The shop also found that the rear tires are Mercedes spec tires and advised that the car should not be run with Mercedes spec tires.
Is there any risk/truth to this? I am thinking I might just replace all four tires, but they have 8/32" tread depth so not exactly worn. They are run-flats though, so my plan was always to replace with non-run-flats, but not until needed.
Any advice? I've never heard of "Mercedes spec" tires. I contacted the dealer that sold me the car and they said they didn't put those tires on it and it passed their state's inspection, so tough luck for me.
