| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 3 of 4 bridgestone potenza re-950 tires, size 235/45/r17 93h tires have experienced delamination of the tread on the inside wear edge; alignment on my audi a4 has been verified to meet manufacturer spec, yet the inside edges of the tires have broken open to expose layers of tire and the integrity of the tire has been breached. in one case, a 8 inch by 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch section completely gave way and flew off the tire. these tires were discontinued by bridgestone and i now know why. i replaced all 4 tires with bridgestone g09's and i have not had this problem reoccur. note, system will not accept audi a4 as vehicle type, so i used toyota; i do have a 3.0l a4 quattro. *jb |
