Uneven Rear Tire Wear??
 

Hey guys! New owner of a 04 4.8is...sweet ride...Just picked it up yesterday and noticed that the driver side rear tire is much more worn than the rest?? All three other tires have around 50% tread left, yet the driver rear is pretty much bald on the inside/center of the tire tread...is this normal?? Might it have some sort of control arm problem? Should I just replace the tire or bring it into the shop and have them look it over as it is still covered under the factory warranty?

Also, because I am the second owner, do I have the ability to purchase the extended warranty for the car or am I out of luck?


Thanks in advance for the help!

Inside center, most likely over-inflated. Check the pressure on all 4 tires. I wouldn't jump right to an expensive problem like a control arm, start simple.

You can purchase an extended warranty, but not through BMW.

I live in CA, so I'm not sure an aftermarket warranty is an option for me either:(

Not sure why that would be. Search this forum, there are plenty available. MotorDavid has done write-ups on a lot of them.
