Replying to: jennyj79 (Jun 16, 2009 10:21 am) I went through the same thing that you are going through. I guess the main difference is I went to a Bridgestone dealer that I was familar with. I would try another dealer across town, etc. They replaced my four dry rotted and cracking tires with balance, new vales stems, etc. I paid $00.00 That is a new vehicle for all intents and purposes. Find out who the Regional Mgr for the local dealers is and ask for phone number. I would take it to the top of Mgt.   I know that Bridgestone as a Mfg. does not want their customers to be treated that way. They could loose your business for life.   I dont know where you live but here in SW La. our dealers take care of their customers.   Good Luck and dont take NO for an answer.

Replying to: bcp1 (Jul 08, 2009 2:45 pm) I did replace two and had a rotation. I kept the other used one since it still has 7/32 of depth. Incase I get flat again it's better for me to have that use the spare, mounted rather than the thin trunk original tire. That is if I get a flat as closer thread depth as my used stoked tire. It also cuts the 50mph limit on the stock spare with the wider used tire. Gives me some time to save up for two more incase.

how important is it to keep all 4 tires with the same brand? i replaced the fronts 3 months ago, and now i need to do the rear.   thanks. Replies to this message: sdbobo619 (Nov 30, 2009 8:11 pm)

Replying to: mdrriley (Nov 30, 2009 10:38 am) Very important to have all the same tires. It is ok to mix 2 and 2 but you always want the same tires on each axle. I would never put 3 one brand and 1 another optimal handling and traction are obtained with all 4 the same.
