|---|---|
| Tire Bubble problems | |
| Tire Tread/belt problems | |
| Tire Sidewall problems |
I have had 5 blowouts and 1 tire has a bubble(about to blow out) in 13 months. I have 2 sets of wheels. The bridgestone driveguard tires have had all of the problems. Not one problem with my michelins. I drive on the same roads with both sets. The sidewalls are extremely weak on the bridgestone. In 26 years of driving, these are the only tires that I have gotten a blowout with, and 5 in one year.
The contact owns a 2014 BMW 328d equipped with nexen tires, tire line: winguard sport 2, tire size: 225/50/r17, dot number 8ejrhmel2519. The contact stated that while driving at 45 mph, the instrument panel alerted him that the rear driver side tire had began to rapidly loose air. The contact pulled over and discovered that the tire was nearly flat and that the tread had separated from the tire. The contact managed to slowly drive the vehicle home and where he replace all four tires. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The tire failure mileage was approximately 20,000. The vehicle failure mileage was approximately 163,000.
Tire size: 225/50rf17 tire type: bridgestone driveguard while driving my car southbound on i225 through aurora, CO on 5/19/2023, I received an indication of a low right front tire. As I have received this warning when the tire pressure varies due to weather, I proceeded home. When I arrived home in englewood, CO, I immediately inflated the tire to its proper pressure. After shutting down the compressor, I heard a hiss coming from the tire and found a gash near the rim. The errand that I ran on that day took me from home to i70 and chambers and back home. At no time during this trip did I recall hitting a pothole or curb that would have caused this. Could it have been from a previous incident? possibly, but when I took my car to coloradoland tire & service at 6600 s. Quebec, centennial, CO, the service advisor informed me that another customer had a similar problem (name can be provided upon request) with the same type of tire. Is there a problem with these tires?.
