| Description of the problem | When i purchased my 2007 camry le it came equipped with bridgestone turanza el 400 02 tires. I have followed the recommended service and brought the car to my dealer for servicing. At 24000 miles the tires tread was worn to under 2/32nds of an inch and the tires are completely unsafe to drive on. I filed a claim with an authorized bridgestone dealer which was denied on the basis that the tires are original equipment. I have received no compensation from either the toyota dealer or bridgestone. No tire that has been properly maintained should have such a short tread life. This is unacceptable. |
