NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK (TIRESIZE: 19)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 19 )

TIRE SIZE 23575R/15, DOT#EJDGCFN377 REPLACEMENT TIRE. CONSUMER WAS DRIVING VEHICLE WHEN TREAD ON TIRE ON RIGHT BACK SIDE OF VEHICLE BEGIN TO PEEL OFF. TIRE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF VEHICLE DID SAMETHING, THIS WAS 5TH TIRE SINCE OCTOBER. BOTH BACK LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE REAR FENDER WAS DAMAGED. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED BRIDGESTONE. *AK

THE LEFT REAR TIRE EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION WHILE DRIVING, THE PORTION OF THE TREAD THAT REMAINED CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE INNER AND OUTER FENDER AND THE REAR BUMPER, THE REPLACED TIRE FAILED A FEW DAYS AFTER INSTALLED (BRIDGESTONE MODEL S402, SIZE 175-70R13. NLM

COMPLETE SIDEWALL (360 DEGREES AROUND) SEPARATED FROM TIRE TREAD AT NORMAL DRIVING SPEED CAUSING IMMEDIATE AND DANGEROUS BLOWOUT. TIRES MAINTAINED AT CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE WITH APPROX. 22,000 MILES OF USE. TIRE WAS NEVER REPAIRED OR DAMAGED BEFORE BLOWOUT. VEHICLE USED FOR NORMAL PASSENGER USE. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME EXACT FAILURE AS THE BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRE. NO MENTION HAS BEEN MADE ABOUT THE SIZE 245/50/16 POTENZA, BUT THE FAILURE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE DAMAGE SEEN ON THE RECALLED WILDERNESS. FOR SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS, HAVE REPLACED ALL 4 POTENZA TIRES W/DUNLOPS. KEPT DAMAGED TIRE AND 2 OTHERS. HAVE PICTURES OF DAMAGED TIRE. AM CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A LARGER SAFETY PROBLEM WITH OTHER BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE TIRES.*AK (TIRESIZE: 245/50/16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 245/50/16 )
