BRIDGESTONE TIRES Complaints

ON TWO OCCASIONS THE TREAD OF LEFT BRIDGESTONE TIRE CAME OFF DAMAGING WHEEL WELL PANEL (BRIDGESTONE P235/70R15 15 INCH TIRE).

AT FIRST, I THOUGHT WE HAD A PEBBLE IN OUR TREAD AS WE MOTORED ON A SECONDARY, PAVED ROAD. UPON TURNING ON HIGHWAY 11 THE SOUND HEIGHTENED, SO WE PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD TO FIND A FLAT ON THE RIGHT REAR. AFTER CHANGING TIRE I SEVERAL TIMES CLOSELY OBSERVED THE FLAT TIRE FINDING NO HOLES OR CUTS. THE TOYOTA DEALER FOUND A SLASH, ALLEGEDLY, AND PLACED 3 PLUGS. I AM REPORTING THIS INCIDENT IN THE EVENT IT FITS INTO A LARGER PATTERN OF FAILURES WITH THIS TIRE MODEL. MAHALO AND THANKS.*AK (TIRESIZE: P175/65R14)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P175/65R14 )
