Tire size P255/55R20. I purchased 4 new tires February 2023 from Jim Dobson Ford in Winamac, In. I've taken my car back there at least 4 if not 5 times because of vibration. I finally took my car to a different facility and they showed me where 2 of my tires that was in the rear are separating and need replaced. I feel these tires was defective from the start, my car was like riding on air before I purchased these tires. They was supposed to be a 65,000 mile tire, they have 40,000 miles on them. I tired to utilize the warranty but the manager at Jim Dobson will not file warranty on them because he said Bridgestone will not honor warranty. These tires are a safety hazard, I have parked my car until I can get different tires put on them

Dealership I bought this car from 5 days ago, mckluski chevy in Cincinnati Ohio stated it would be another week before i could buy the car as there was a recall on the tires and they were putting new ones on. They did not put new ones on cleared the recall without fixing it. I paid $100 locally just to have them plugged to hold air and was told they are not safe and need replaced due to tread and dry rot. All valve steps and beads were leaking and had to be replaced as well.
