2014 Bmw 328i Xdrive Tires Problems

Tire Size: 225/50RF17 Tire Type: Bridgestone Driveguard While driving my car southbound on I225 through Aurora, CO on 5/19/2023, I received an indication of a low right front tire. As I have received this warning when the tire pressure varies due to weather, I proceeded home. When I arrived home in Englewood, CO, I immediately inflated the tire to its proper pressure. After shutting down the compressor, I heard a hiss coming from the tire and found a gash near the rim. The errand that I ran on that day took me from home to I70 and Chambers and back home. At no time during this trip did I recall hitting a pothole or curb that would have caused this. Could it have been from a previous incident? Possibly, but when I took my car to Coloradoland Tire & Service at 6600 S. Quebec, Centennial, CO, the service advisor informed me that another customer had a similar problem (name can be provided upon request) with the same type of tire. Is there a problem with these tires?

I HAVE HAD 5 BLOWOUTS AND 1 TIRE HAS A BUBBLE(ABOUT TO BLOW OUT) IN 13 MONTHS. I HAVE 2 SETS OF WHEELS. THE BRIDGESTONE DRIVEGUARD TIRES HAVE HAD ALL OF THE PROBLEMS. NOT ONE PROBLEM WITH MY MICHELINS. I DRIVE ON THE SAME ROADS WITH BOTH SETS. THE SIDEWALLS ARE EXTREMELY WEAK ON THE BRIDGESTONE. IN 26 YEARS OF DRIVING, THESE ARE THE ONLY TIRES THAT I HAVE GOTTEN A BLOWOUT WITH, AND 5 IN ONE YEAR.
