Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Vehicle is a subaru impreza 2002 equipt with bridgestone potenza re92 16"tires. his week at approximately 10,500 miles 2 of these tires developed a pinhole leak in the center of the sidewall approximately a week apart. the leak was so tiny that it was hard to find. a call to a major bridgestone distributor about this problem was not productive. they said they have no record of such a problem. i have never seen this in any previous tires that i have used. can you shed any light on this subject?? thought it strange that 2 different tires of the same brand would have the same defect about a week apart. thank you.*ak
