problem #1

Dec 281999

(reported on)

Legacy 4WD

  • miles
Tires repeatedly lose air, especially in rear. Steel belt began showing and a large sidewall bulge appeared in one rear tire at about 15,500 miles. Replaced all four tires at approximately 15,580 miles, with Michelin tires, because we felt that the Bridgestone tires were not safe and did not want replacements of the same make that might fail in the same manner in the future.( dot number: Obj6pja417 tire size: 185/70 R14 )
