The belts on all four of my Bridgestone blizzak snow tires separated and moved within the tires creating extremely rough and dangerous ride. The occurence developed from an even, smooth ride to slight wheel shimmy to extreme bumpy and wobbly ride - all within one hundred miles of highway driving.

We have had multiple complaints about the tires since we purchased the van april2000. Dealer says nothing wrong. We have to check tire pressure frequently and add air. Today, during a trip from Norfolk to wadesboro, nc, vibrations were felt. Pulled into Firestone station. Said nothing wrong. Upon arrival in wadesboro, we had the tires checked again (not Firestone store) and were told the tread is separating.

After owning the car for two days, the tire suffered a flat caused by a rock. If a nail or something else, there would be no complaint, but a rock. Repair shop said the tire may need to be replaced due to the size of the puncture. I feel the tire has to be defective as I have driven on the same rocky road with road tires and never suffered puncture or any damage to my Michelin tires. Neither has my parents or family who live and visit this roadway regularly. Manufacturer is standing behind the warranty clause of non-responsibility due to failure caused by punctures but there is a problem with this and possibly the other tires for this to happen.( dot number: Tire size: P215/65R15 )
