In my experience the best bang for your buck summer tire is the Riken Raptor. They're about $100 a pop and have great dry grip. Downside is that they're not amazing in very wet conditions.
Pros: great dry grip
Cons: not amazing in wet

Ersatzrad drauf, zur Werkstatt fahren und einmal dr\u00fcberschauen lassen. Ist vermutlich zu nah am Rand, aber vielleicht macht dir das der Typ ja trotzdem fertig. Ich pers\u00f6nlich w\u00fcrde aber eher nen neuen Reifen kaufen.
Cons: zu nah am Rand
Vehicle:
BMW
2nd pic shows dry rot cracking. Odd for a new tire after 6,000mi. You could try warranty through Uniroyal.
Cons: dry rot cracking
Mileage: 6000 km
Also, Uniroyal has extremely soft rubber compound. All their tyres were very quickly.
Cons: soft rubber compound
It's a uniroyal, probably has pinched steel in sidewall, it will blow sooner than later. Junk it.
Cons: pinched steel in sidewall
