| Description of the problem | On april 11 2009 i purchased four new bridgestone dueller h/t 684 tires for my 2004 honda crv. On april 23 i had r & m automotive in northridge, ca align the wheels on the crv. R & m is my regular mechanic for this car. The mileage at that time was 83875. On november 26, 2009 i noticed exposed steel belts on the left rear tire and excessive wear on the other three tires. The car mileage was 92763. I was told this extreme tire wear was the result of improper alignment when i took the car to the store where i bought them. They did however note that it was unsafe to drive on the left rear tire and installed the spare tire. I then took the car to r & m where they checked the alignment and found nothing wrong. R& m thought it was unsafe to drive on the tires and offered to provide a rental. R& m replaced the tires at no cost. I still have the tires in my possession and i believe they were flawed from the manufacturer. I was extremely lucky that i discovered this situation before i was on the freeway. The tires had only 8,400 miles on them and i wasn't checking them because i thought they were good for another 30,000 miles. I have used these tires before and they performed well and i got 40-50,000 miles of wear. |
