Bridgestone Tires

I bought my GMC Denali new. At the onset, I didn't want Bridgestone tires, but the GMC dealer informed me that I could not swap them out for another brand. Around 9000 miles I began having balance issues (shaking). I went to a GMC dealer in Florida and was informed that one of my tires was definitely defective (10,250 miles), but GM would only pay for roughly 1/2 of the cost. I was assuming my problems were over, but they were not. The high speed vibration returned, and I returned to the GMC dealer in FL who again did a road force balance at my expense. At this point I returned home to Michigan with this yet unresolved issue, and went twice to a Chevrolet dealership in Grand Rapids. As a last resort I consulted with Discount Tire who are typically very adept at resolving balance issues, but they also were unable to fix it.

I have 20k miles on my 2018 Camry and they need to be replaced! What a joke! I do mostly highway miles. Toyota made a huge mistake going with Bridgestone tires and because of this I will never purchase a Toyota again! This was my first time with Toyota and I regret it! Bridgestone should be ashamed to put out such a crap product! And Toyota should be ashamed putting junk on their cars! I would NEVER use Bridgestone for anything!

I leased a new 2019 Mazda 3 Preferred with 18” rims. I have had two blowouts from potholes with the Turanza EL440 tires. Other cars hit the potholes without blowing out the sidewalls. Very weak tires.

I leased a Nissan Leaf that comes with these tires. The tires are completely bald just after driving for 20K miles. The roads in my area are excellent. I can't believe a popular brand like Bridgestone makes such a poor quality tires. Now I know which tire brand to avoid in my next purchase.

I purchased a brand new Dodge Durango in May 2017. It had 50 miles on it and that's because they drove it to my house from the dealership. The truck came with Bridgestone tires. About 2 weeks ago I took the truck to my local Firestone for a oil change and was told I need new tires and soon. I was shocked since I have only had the truck a short time. I called Bridgestone and the warranty rep informed me the tires were made specifically for my truck to save gas. Not so much for treading and that is why they have no warranty. I was shocked because I only have about 24k miles on my truck. He then said that he wanted me to have a positive experience with the company and that if I take my truck back to Firestone, have them measure the tread Bridgestone would offer me at least a discount or just take care of all 4 new tires for my truck. So I did what he asked.

2018 EQUINOX, purchased 06/2017. After 30,000 miles of mostly easy highway travel. The manufacture tires were down to the wear bars. These tires are rated as 70,000 mile tires. The dealership cost to us at this point was 479.00 dollars. When contacting several companies (Bridgestone, Discount Tire, dealerships). We were told basically tough luck. Our cost for OEM replacement was 80% of total tire cost. So now we have paid $479 for same tires to wear at same rate. Which will need to be replaced again in 30,000 miles. Anyone interested in class action? Please reply.

Warning: To all those who have special ordered or purchased their Jeep with the "Sport Package 24C" option on the 2016, 2017 & 2018 JK Wranglers. We special ordered the 2017 Jeep wrangler unlimited April which came with stylized 16 wheels and these tires. I've always complain about this tires since day one. They are very bouncy and hard to maintain the correct PSI. After about 15K miles the tires sidewalls started flexing really bad (side to side). One morning watched the wife drive off to work and noticed when she hit a dip/bump in the road. The rear tires moved from side to side very pronounced, so much so I was in fear that the tires would blow out or pop off the rims.

I purchased a new Honda CRV 2017 in October 2018. Always got tires rotated and inspected. Just last week one of my tires shredded apart and looks to be dry rotted. Had vehicle towed to dealer and they could not tell me cause of tire problem. Although one serviceman at dealer stated tire looked dry rotted. Another tire specialist stated same thing and that the tire was a bad tire. Going to Bridgestone to see what the have to say. I had to purchase a new tire from dealer.

I purchased a new Lexus RX 450h in August 2016. It came equipped with Bridgestone Ecopia tires that are wear-rated for 65,000 miles. Although these tires have been meticulously maintained, they are quickly approaching replacement status at only 12,000 miles. They clearly will require replacement in 3,000 miles or less, and will definitely NOT be replaced with another set of Bridgestones!

We purchased our 2017 CRV less than two years ago. In that amount of time we put just over 30k on it. Average driving. But the car has failed its very first inspection because the Bridgestone times were near bald. Bridgestone claims "Tires used in commercial service and original equipment tires on new vehicles have no mileage warranty." Are you kidding me? We're so annoyed and Honda can't do anything for us even though the bumper to bumper warranty is still in effect.
