My 2008 528 xi suffered a blow out Friday eve and the tire is not replairable. I tried to get a new one Sat, but was told that the all wheel drive cars require tires be replaced in sets of four or drive system failures are likely. Tires have 7/32 on them and are very good. Is this true? I can buy a used tire with 9-10/32 on it. Would that be a better option. Sounds crazy. I'm getting this from the local tire guys, not my BMW dealer. Haven't been able to talk with them yet and hope to have some good info first. Thanks
