| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This is the third tire failure since i received my s4. a fellow motorist noticed a large bubble in the sidewall of the right front tire. this tire is a replacement tire that was installed after the original failed. there is obviously some problem or defect with these tires. i have been in touch with other s4 owners and many of them complain about these sidewall bulges. the fact that bridgestone denies any problem and will not replace the tires free of charge is ridiculous. i do not feel safe driving this car with these tires. pressure needs to be put on audi and bridgestone to either reimburse us for the tires and replace them free of charge, or to supply us with a new improved or different tire. these tires should be recalled immediately because they are unreliable and unsafe. a blowout in the sidewall of a tire at highway speed can cause a serious accident after which a serious lawsuit would follow. *ak( dot number: ejh8cfe279 tire size: p225/45r17 ) |
