I am currently driving a 2005 Toyota Tacoma x runner. There are cracks across the treads of at least two of the four tires on the truck (bridgestone potenza tires). I went to a bridgestone shop and they told me to drive across the street and talk to the Toyota dealership. The Toyota dealership told me there was nothing they could do. I do not feel safe driving a vehicle with cracks across the entire tread face. I am not the only person with this problem, nearly all of the x runner drivers have the same problem; some of which get the tires replaced or get the run-around like myself. Please help me. I am a college student and I need safe transportation.

I just recently purchased a 2005 Toyota Tacoma x-runner that has bridgestone potenza re050a tires on it. I have been reading some forums and talked to the previous owner lately and I am under the understanding that these tires have been cracking. I have been told that the tires are getting replaced by firestone dealers under a defect warranty. I have already been directed to call an 800 number on the issue (which I called) and they acted/said that they have not heard of this issue and told me to go to a bidgestone/firestone dealer. I went to a dealer in town and they told me to go to a firestone retailer. I've been going on this big run around now for about a month. There has been a lot of controversy on this issue and I am contacting you to try to get headed in the right direction of solving this issue. Have you heard of this and/or do you know the best way to handle this issue.

I'm reporting this for my friend with a 2005 Toyota x-runner with the original oem bridgestone potenza re050 18" tires. The tire has a split all the way across the right rear tire that looks as if it is a gash. Looked at all of the other tires and the right front one is just starting to show signs of splitting in the same manner. Vehicle has just about 3,000 miles. Many other people I know that have x-runners are having the same exact problem, some of which have all 4 tires that are split. The dot # on all 4 tires on this truck are y79b jac 0805. Other tires I've seen affected have different dot #'s as well.

My 2005 Toyota x-runner, with only 4,000 miles from new, has the original equipment tires (3 of the 4) showing a splitting of the tire from left to right along 90 percent the tread. The tires are bridgestone potenza re050a 255/45r18.

Initially felt a vibration in my steering wheel and accelerator pedal. Was trying to decide from where the problem came when my left rear tire blew it's entire tread, which then wrapped around my axle, causing me to spin 360 degrees and off the highway and down a grassy slope, which, fortunately, was soft enough to stop me without making me flip over. Damage: wheel rim and cover, wheel well liner ripped off, thereby bending it's rear bracket, which in turn pulled my fender in. Tread wrapped around axle bent, but did not crimp, my hydraulic brake line. I managed to get the vehicle to the asphalt to change the tire, but it came to a halt because of the axle being wrapped. Was unable to put on safety brake until I lifted the vehicle enough to unwrap the tread from the axle. Have filed a complaint with firestone and expect them to pay for my damages. Their policy is to demand the old tire back before any payout can be made and I intend to fight that, since the dealer has already disposed of the evidence. My feeling is that the dealer was either ignorant of that policy or negligent in telling me of it or that firestone instructed them not to tell customers of that requirement. I did tell the dealer that I intended to file a claim with firestone. Dealer as much as admitted a faulty product since they did not charge me for a new tire. They did, however, charge me labor. Rotation and courtesy check were performed by dealer on 20 July 2005 and they stated they had checked tire pressure.
