The Contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 equipped with Bridgestone tires, Tire Line: Dueler All Terrain, Tire Size: 275/60/R20, DOT Number: 7X0RXD1019. The contact stated that all four tires exhibited dry rot on the inside and the tire casing were splitting. The tires were not replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 26,423.

Once existing the car the Officernoticed that my rear driver tire had expolded. This is what caused the accident and caused me tremendously back pain problems. The tires were purchase new from Firestone Complete Auto Care as we only purchased Firestone tires beginning with our first replacement tires until present.Thank God my life was spared. Unfortunately this is the second major conflict with Firestone and there defective products and maintenance schedules. Lexus rear automatic lowering up and down rear end system has product defects also. The brakes systems would not stop the Lexus 2004 GX 470. They would not stop as many times of previous stops.

Car only 9 months old, tread on both front tires bald, hydroplaning on wet roads. Almost was in an accident, I travel for work and got a BMW for reliability, I’m really second guessing my choice of cars right now.Bridgestone said tread is from out of alignment. BMW checked alignment and front is spot on. 13,000 miles on tires. Horrible driving experience in such a short time. Very disappointed that BMW would put such terrible tires on.

While driving down a paved rural road, the tire pressure light illuminated. Pulled vehicle over to the side of the road and right rear tire was flat. Vehicle had 2100 miles on it. Did not drive over any objects, and did not impact sidewall at all. Tire just failed.

Properly maintained factory installed tire had a no notice sidewall blowout at 50mph. There was no load in the bed. Noticed rough ride and tire pressure system went from properly inflated to 1. Kept the tire after replacing at a Firestone dealership.

All four OEM Bridgestone Dueler A/T P285/45R22 M+S tires are showing premature cracking in sidewall near the bead/wheel. The cracks appear on the full circumference of the tire and vary in length from short to several inches. Depth of cracking is estimated to be 1/16" and growing. The tires, with date code 2318, were on the brand new truck when purchased from the dealership in Aug 2018. The vehicle currently has 16k miles. Both the dealership and local Tires Plus chain have confirmed the issue, but there is not a suitable remedy. Bridgestone will not warranty the tires and replacement under the GM "warranty" is the same price as new aftermarket tires. I believe this is a pending safety concern.
