Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: There were at least three different semi tractors from this dealership that had steer tire blow outs. this tire was sent to bridgestone for analysis ( corp. offices in tenn.) . bridgestones reply was that the driver had to have drove over something sharp to cause the blow out. a tire dealer in sioux falls,sd. who sells bridgestone truck tires told me this was not the first time he had seen a "tire seperation" like this where the tread pealed off from the casing. i have pictures of the tire if you would like prints please call (605)627-9394 . i believe that bridgestones manfacturing problems go beyond the lite truck tires from the illinois plant . description: the tire on the drivers side steering axle pealed the tread face off ( just like all scrap that you see along the highways when a recaped tire blows out). the dot numbers were shredded along with most of the side wall of the tire.( dot number: shredded tire size: 11r 22.5 )
