The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Altima, equipped with vredestein tires (n/a), line ultrak tecnara (n/a), size: 225/45/18. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, the sidewall on the front passenger tire became separated. The road conditions were dry and the weather was extremely hot. The contact replaced the failed tire with the spare however, the sidewall on the front driver's side tire also became separated. The retailer where the tires were purchased was contacted and the contact was awaiting a response. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance due to an expired warranty. The approximate tire failure mileage was 3,100. The approximate failure and current mileage was 91,000. The VIN was not available.
At 100 miles a brand new Nissan Altima with continental touring m&s, contact as tires. P215/60r16 the sidewall blew out at 10 miles mph. I am dealing with Nissan to get them to replace all of the tires on the car. I do not feel safe with these tires.
Tire blister issue(turanza el 42 p215/55r17 93h m+s)--- I noticed a tire blister on my front passenger tire. I visited my dealer for assistance but was only redirected to bridgestone/firestone. However, bridgestone/firestone did not address the matter and simply ignored the failure of the tire integrity. I am worried as bridgestone/firestone has a histoy of ignoring problems with its products and has sacrificed the safety of the consumer in order to gain a profit. No one answered the phone when I contacted the bridgestone/firestone warranty number (800-847-3272). I eventually located another number via directory assistance (800-582-0962). However the sole tech support representative simply dismissed the matter. The representative did not complete a claim form or provide a claim number. He directed me to seek the advice of a bridgestone/firestone retailer. However, the retailer could not provide assistance without a claim number, which the manufacturer tech representative should have provided to me. I am very concerned with the way bridgestone/firestone handled this matter given its previous history. I wished that Nissan never placed this brand of tires on its new vehicles, especially if Nissan does not plan to protect its consumers from bad manufacturers. ***please note that your system will not allow me to insert the correct tire size. My tire size is p215/55r17 93h m.
I purchases a 2005 Nissan Altima on Nov. 2, 2004. On Nov. 23, 2004, my back driver's side tire, now having 1400 miles on it blew out. There were no punctures in the tire, the sidewall just blew out while driving down the interstate. The tires were continentals. Neither superior Nissan, Nissan USA, nor continental would replace my tire.
