I was able to pull over safely to the curbside and called for roadside assistance . The vehicle was towed to Pacific BMW Glendale CA for tire replacement. They said that the damage to the tire is so immense that it is beyond repair. I’m glad that I have bought a wheel and Tire Insurance from BMW and only has to do a co-pay of $50.
