BRIDGESTONE POTENZA TIRES Complaints

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 55 MPH THE FRONT TIRES TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE WHEEL. SIZE P175-65-R14-84S DOT#T9902-6922, ORIGINAL TIRE EQUIPMENT. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *MR

THE TIRES WERE ON THE TOYOTA WHEN PURCHASED. THE DRIVER'S FRONT TIRE FAILED AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE 101 NORTHBOUND FOR SUN CITY. THERE WERE SEVERAL LARGE HOLES IN THE SIDE WALL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS COULD BE DUE TO LOW TIRE PRESSURE. HOWEVER, THE PRESSURE IN THE TIRES WERE CHECKED WITHIN THE SEVEN DAYS OF THE TIRE FAILURE---AT LEAST WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY HAD BEEN CHECKED AS PART OF THE SERVICE WE PAID FOR. THE FULL TIRE SIZE NUMBER WAS P205/65/R15 92T---MORE NUMBERS THAN ALLOWED IN THE PREVIOUS BLANK. IF LOW AIR PRESSURE COULD CAUSE THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE ON A TIRE, THEN IT SEEMS TO ME THAT REGULATIONS SHOULD REQUIRE GREATER TOLERANCE IN TIRE PRESSURE. NLM

CONTINUED EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR POSSIBLE CAUSE VEHICLE WEIGHT AND ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. I AM ON MY THIRD SET OF TIRES IN 30,000 MILES AND THE TIRES THAT ARE NOW ON THE CAR ARE WEARING POORLY AFTER LESS THEN 5,000 MILES. TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM ANY FURTHER THEN THEY HAVE. THE CAR WONDERS IN SLIGHTLY WINDY CONDITIONS AND FREEWAY DRIVING WHICH FELLS UNSAFE. TOYOTA HAS HAD TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER AND DO A VALVE JOB DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER I EXPERIENCED, WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.*AK
