This Problem Across All Years
FUTURA 2000 LTE P215/65TR16 RM6V XAC 3712 I HAVE A RECEIPT DATED 6-18-2016 FOR 2 TIRES INSTALLED ON THE REAR OF MY 2006 TOWN AND COUNTRY VAN. BOTH TIRES HAVE RECENTLY FAILED, TREAD SEPARATION. THE TIRE IN MAY WAS A BLOW OUT AT 70MPH ON INTERSTATE 10, THE NEXT TIRE WAS NOT A BLOWOUT. IN ALL MY LIFE I HAVE NEVER HAD A TIRE BLOW OUT AND NEVER HAD TWO OF THE SAME TIRES FAIL SO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. MILEAGE ON MY VAN AT INSTALLATION WAS 102130 AND MILEAGE AT FAILURE WAS 144258 AND THE NEXT TIRE AT 145258. I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED BY YOUR QUALITY ASSURANCE OFFICE AND I ALSO WANT MORE THAN THE PATHETIC 25 DOLLAR AND 10 DOLLAR OFF ON REPLACEMENT OF THESE TIRES. YES ALL TIRES WERE INSTALLED AT PEPBOYS, IN NICEVILLE, FL #1535 850-678-0887.

STOPPED TO INFLATE TIRES. AS I STARTED TO REMOVE THE LEFT REAR TIRE CAP IT THE STEM BLEW OUT IN MY HAND. I CHANGED THE TIRE BUT THE ADDITIONAL WEIGHT BLEW OUT THE SECOND STEM THIS TIME ON THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. I SHOT INTO THE CURB. BY THE TIME I GOT IT UP ON THE JACK THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE STEM BLEW AND THE RIGHT REAR STARTED TO LOSE AIR. I HAD TO REPLACE 2 SENSORS. THE RIGHT REAR HAD BEEN REPLACED ALREADY. *TR

DISCOVERED THAT VALVE STEM HAD BROKEN OFF. VALVE STEM IS ATTACHED TO TPMS SENSOR AND REPLACEMENT VALVE STEMS ARE NOT OFFERED. THE BREAKING OF THE VALVE STEMS SEEMS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. VERY DISCONCERTING. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT NOTICE UNTIL LATER AND LUCKILY, THE TIRE DID NOT DEFLATE RAPIDLY. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 3 BRIDGESTONE EL42 TIRES DUE TO THEM HAVING SMALL PINHOLES IN THE SIDEWALL. THE FIRST TIRE WAS ON 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY AND THE SECOND AND THIRD TIRES ON A 2006 TOWN & COUNTRY. EACH TIRE HAD SMALL PIN HOLES IN THE SIDEWALL. I TOLD THE BRIDGESTONE DEALER THAT I THOUGHT THE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE AND THAT THREE TIRES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WAS A LOT MORE THAN COINCIDENTAL. HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE TIRES AND THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR NEW ONES SINCE SIDE WALL LEAKS CANNOT BE REPAIRED. I TOLD HIM THAT BRIDGESTONE DIDN'T RECALL THE FORD EXPLORER TIRES UNTIL FORCED TO. *NM
