| Description of the problem | I was driving in august and could hear something banging on the underside of my van, i would stop and it would go away because the tread would fall on road and then start a day later with more tread coming off. It was the tread coming off of my tires but didn't know that at the time and getting caught on the underside of my van. This went on for 2 weeks. My tire sensor never came on. I drove to ohio on i-75 october 21, 2012 and my front 2 tires blew out at the same time - br 001522 tires. A big slash in one tire a small hole in another. I pull over and see a lot of the tread is completely off of both tires. I get to a tire store and they said it look like the alignment caused the wear. I replaced all 4 tires and have the tire co put the 2 in my back van. I go to belle tire to get a refund for my tires with 29,000 miles on 65,000 wear tires. They said they would call bridgestone. Bridgestone denied my case for a refund. I got an alignment 11/14/2012 and it shows my alignment was ok a little off but would never have caused that kind of wear with tread just coming off both tires at the same time - they are defective tires. The white spikes were showing on both tires - the tread came off completely on both tires around the edges. |
