BRIDGESTONE DUELER AT TIRES Complaints

2025 GMC Sierra, purchased new, is showing signs of severe dry rot on 3 of the 4 original tires. The vehicle has less than 8000 miles currently. This level of Dryrot poses a safety hazard for a vehicle that is less than 1 year old.

LT275/65R20 126/123R M+S Bridgestone Dueler A/T Without warning the tread explosively separated at normal highway speed of 70 MPH while driving straight in the morning with an approximate outdoor temperature 75 degrees or less. The truck immediately and uncontrollably swerved into the left passing lane nearly causing vehicle to turn completely sideways. Gained control of vehicle and pulled to side of the road. The tire tread had separated but the tire still retained air pressure making it possible to slow safely into road curb lane. Extensive truck damage occurred to fender, wheel well internal to engine compartment and the front bumper. Amazing that it ruined the front bumper. The tires were recently rotated and inspected by Discount Tire. There were no warnings, symptoms, messages or indications of any kind that the tire was defective. These tires will be replaced today. Fortunately I was not killed in this extreme failure.

My Bridgestone tires were the wrong rated tires put on by Chrysler at 70 miles per hour they would bounce did not matter which one would bounce they all did it after hitting a small bump on the highway they are the dueler 255/70/r18 113t ms with 1 nylon and 2 steel belts in tread and only 2 polyester side wall this was to light of a tire for a light truck , talked to Chrysler and they just blew me off on this problem I purchased light truck tires and solved the problem they now owe me $1095.97 . I am sure they put these tires on other Jeep gladiators.

A MONTH AGO I HAD A BRIDGESTONE A/T REVO SEPARATE AND MANAGED TO GET IT REPLACED BEFORE IT BLEW. THIS PAST FRIDAY I WAS TOWING A TRAILER AND HAD ANOTHER SEPARATE AND BEFORE I COULD GET STOPPED IT BLEW OUT ALSO. FORTUNATELY IT WAS ON THE BACK AND I MANAGED TO GET THE TRUCK AND TRAILER STOPPED SAFELY. NOT SURE I COULD HAVE DONE THIS HAD IT BEEN ON THE FRONT. TIRES WERE AIRED PROPERLY THAT MORNING ALSO. RIPPED MY RIGHT REAR FENDER UP ALSO. TWO OF THE SAME TIRES PURCHASED AT THE SAME TIME SEPARATED WITHIN A MONTH OF EACH OTHER. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIA WITH 86,000 MILES ON IT AND I AM PUTTING MY THIRD SET OF TIRES ON IT. I KEEP MY CAR MAINTAINED IN ALL ASPECTS INCLUDING TIRE ROTATION AND BALANCE AND ALIGNMENTS. THE WEAR ON MY TIRES IS NOT FROM NEGLECT. THEY ARE ALSO HIGH QUALITY TIRES, NOT CHEAP. I HAVE HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG FOR THE TIRES TO WEAR OUT THIS QUICKLY , ALL THREE SETS!! TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT BECAUSE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM ACCORDING TO FORUMS AND BLOGS I READ ONLINE. *TR
