I will confirm what
I will confirm what MZMPortand said. I agree with you...they should know their product and tell people about this warranty and not just blindly quote full replacement costs. I have a 2014 X3 with the Pirelli's. Both the BMW dealer and Discount tire were surprised that Pirelli runflats have a 1 year road hazard included from Pirelli (not BMW). My tire with 3,000 miles and a screw in the middle of the tread was replaced totally free by Discount Tire, after he confirmed the Pirelli warranty - which I had researched and found on my own. While I was at the tire store, I bought the road hazard warranty the tire store offered for all of the tires, knowing these cannot be repaired and my 1 year will soon be up. I also sent BMW an e-mail explaining my situation, and replied to their form letter response that their form response, on top of them not offering an option for people to opt out of run-flat tires, is why this will be my 4th and last BMW.
