The contact stated the tires had to be replaced at 23,000 miles. The dealership told her to call Bridgestone, and Bridgestone said they did not warranted tires that came from the dealership. She has to replace the tires today. She reported not noticing anything wrong with the tires prior to this. She maintained the car well. She has the tires rotated to the recommend rotations. The recommended psi on the tires was 35.
