We installed from firestone in biloxi 4 new bridgestone ecopia ep422 plus bl 175/65r15 dot# v6twec 84h 70,000 mile limited warranty tires on our 2013 Honda Fit November 30th 2016 at 38,715 miles. In December 27th 2019 with 70, 830 mileage, we took it to the firestone dealer in gulfport as the tpms light was on and learned that the left front was low 10 pounds. The next morning the light was on again so back to the dealer to learn that the inside facing of the tire, near and parallel to the rim, had a 4" long rotted section that you could almost put your fingers through. We were advised that a new tire was in order. In further inspection of this tire after it was off the rim, one could see the numerous cracks that had developed about an inch away from the rim. Now we are wondering if the rest of the tires are in jeopardy of failure. The date stamp on this tire was 4915 (end of November 2015).
At 29,000 had to replace tires, sidewall cracking and one tire had a bubble. Asked Honda about promised warranty and they said there was no warranty, contact tire dealer but tires were a special purchase by Honda. Tpms damaged by wartart when mounting new tires, fixed & reset by Honda . Had Honda do a front end alignment they state left wheel "frozen" -"unfixable" I did hit brakes very had about 6 weeks ago, felt tires freeze, grab, car went sideways. Can this be related to esc recall?.
