TIRES
WHILE TRAVELING AT THE SPEED LIMIT ON I-295 IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA A BRIDGESTONE TIRE MOUNTED ON THE LEFT REAR OF MY VEHICLE SUFFERED A BLOW OUT. WHILE BLOW OUTS DO OCCUR, IN THIS INSTANCE THE TREAD CAME COMPLETELY OF THE TIRE PRIOR TO A VERY VIOLENT EXPLOSION OF THE TIRE. THIS CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND LOSS OF CONTROL. I HAVE CONTACTED BRIDGESTONE REGARDING THIS, AND THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO DENY, AND IGNORE THE PROBLEM. THE TIRE HAD PLENTY OF TREAD AND APPEARED IN GOOD CONDITION. IT WAS BEING OPERATED AT THE CORRECT PRESSURE OF 44LBS COLD. I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED THAT BRIDGESTONE MAY BE HIDEING A PROBLEM THAT GOOD POSSABLY COST SOMEONE THERE LIFE.*AK (DOT NUMBER: 7B73PUA189 TIRESIZE: P265/75R16)
