TODAY ON I77-N CLOSE TO CHARLOTTE, MY REAR TIRE WAS SHREDDED TO PIECES AND THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PULLED OVER COMPLETELY TO THE RAMP. I HAD THE VEHICLE ON SPARE TIRE AND GOT A BRAND NEW ONE PUT ON. THE TIRE THAT GOT BUSTED WAS A MICHELIN 60R16 FITTED AT COSTCO IN WINSTON SALEM. *TR

WAS DRIVING ALONG I-10 EASTBOUND IN PHOENIX, AZ AROUND 4:45 AM ON MY WAY TO WORK AND I HEARD AND THUMPING NOISE FROM THE REAR OF VEHICLE AND THEN THE TIRE BLOW OUT COUSING DAMAGE TO THE LEFT REAR SECTION OF MY VEHICLE. TIRE WAS BRIDGESTONE P225/60 R16 97T M+S EL4Z PL6 DOT Y7X0 (PL6) (4604) LOIL. WHEN I BOUGHT THE TIRES FROM WAL-MART IN AZ HAD TOO HAVE ONE (1) REPLACED DUE TO SEPARTING FROM THE INSIDE OF TIRE WHICH WAS ON 01-26-2007 AND THEN HAD TO HAVE ON REPLACED AFTER THE SIDE WALL BLOW OUT 06-28-2007 AND BOTH TIME TIRES WERE REPLACED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BRIDGESTONE TIRES FOR DEFECTS. THANK YOU *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE VEHICLE HAS GOODYEAR ULTRA TOUR (NA), SIZE P225/ TIRES. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED. THE TIRE SHOP STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE OUT OF BALANCE; HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO BE BALANCED. AFTER INSPECTION, THEY STATED THAT THE TIRES DEFLATED FROM THE INSIDE DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE TIRE SHOP REPLACED THE TWO FRONT TIRES AT 20,000 MILES. APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR LATER, AFTER A TIRE ROTATION, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE TIRE SHOP STATED THAT THE TIRES SEPARATED FROM THE INSIDE AND THEY WERE REPLACED. THERE HAD BEEN NO FURTHER OCCURRENCES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000. UPDATED 01/07/08 *BF UPDATED*JB

BRIDGESTONE POTENZA RE92, 22560R16. RIGHT FRONT TIRE TREAD CAME COMPLETELY OFF THE WHEEL. ABLE TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT SAFELY. ODOMETER READING 48K FOR THIS TIRE AND AIR PRESSURE RECENTLY CHECKED. NO IMPACT WITH ANYTHING IN THE ROADWAY, SMOOTH ROADWAY. *JB

2003 HONDA ODYSSEY LEFT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT. *TS THE CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND STRUCK A GUARD RAIL. *JB

THERE WERE NO SIGNIFICANT EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. THE TIRE SEEMED TO SPONTANEOUSLY SPLIT WHERE THE TREAD MEETS THE SIDE WALL WHICH RESULTED IN AN IMMEDIATE BLOW OUT. FORTUNATELY THE VEHICLE WAS GOING AT A SLOW SPEED AT THE TIME SO NO CRASH OCCURRED. WE HAVE SINCE BEEN INFORMED THAT THIS TIRE IS UNSAFE TO USE AT WARMER TEMPERATURES EVEN THOUGH IT IS Q99 RATED. THE TIRE IS A BRIDGESTONE BLIZZAK 215/70QR16 THAT IS ON A 2003 HONDA ELEMENT. THE TIRE WAS PROPERLY INFLATED AND WAS JUST PUT ON NOVEMBER OF 2004.

MY VEHICLE, A 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY, IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE IN SNOW/ICE, NO MATTER HOW LITTLE SNOW OR ICE. LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD, IT HAS ONLY 23,000 MILES AND ALL ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER EQUIPMENT AND TIRES. ALL REGULAR MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE AT THE HONDA DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. VEHICLE LACKS TRACTION IN SNOW OR ICE, WHEELS SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL (WHETHER TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM IS ON OR OFF). VEHICLE CANNOT GO UP SLIGHTEST INCLINE. CANNOT STOP NORMALLY IN ANY KIND OF SNOW OR ICE, SKIDDING PAST DESTINATION (TAKING ME THROUGH A RED LIGHT WITH CHILDREN IN BACK SEATS). A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN / RISK. BOTH MANUFACTURER AND DEALER REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM SAYING THAT ABS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT IS WORKING PROPERLY. DEALER ALLEGES PROBLEM IS TIRES. GIVEN LOW MILEAGE AND FACTORY ORIGINAL TIRES, THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME. NEITHER IS WILLING TO DO ANYTHING. THIS VEHICLE IS THE MOST UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT I'VE EVER HAD. TO FURTHER CLARIFY, I VERY MUCH LIKE HONDA - SO MUCH SO THAT I ALSO OWN A CIVIC. HOWEVER, MY CIVIC HANDLES SNOW EXTREMELY WELL, WHILE THE ODYSSEY IS VERY, VERY DANGEROUS. *JB

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. LATER, CONSUMER FOUND OUT THAT THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL PRODUCED A LARGE HOLE IN THE MIDDLE. DEALER STATED THEY WERE NOT COVERING IT, AND THAT CONSUMER HIT A POTHOLE. *AK *LA
