Was Vehicle Towed: -	Description of the Complaints: I have had to replace 3 bridgestone el42 tires due to them having small pinholes in the sidewall. the first tire was on 2005 chrysler town & country and the second and third tires on a 2006 town & country. each tire had small pin holes in the sidewall. i told the bridgestone dealer that i thought the tires were defective and that three tires with the same problem was a lot more than coincidental. he told me that there was no recall on the tires and that i had to pay for new ones since side wall leaks cannot be repaired. i told him that bridgestone didn't recall the ford explorer tires until forced to. *nm
