Impreza

  • 16,000 miles
Original tire defect discovered at 16K miles on one tire (bulge in sidewall) with no known reason (no impacts or potholes). Needed to replace all 4 since it is an AWD. Extreme cost of $500 and put me in danger of an accident. Defective tire: Firestone/ Bridgestone potenza re92A (dot em8kjll0309) only 16K miles on car and tires. Did prevent accident but flawed tires should be monitored for future recall of defective and unsafe products.
