 Description of the problemI bought a new 2013 honda accord 2dr ex-l v6 off the floor of the dealership on april 1, 2014. The dealer had changed the standard 18 in wheels to 19's and the standard good year tires to brivery dgestone turanza el 400 02's. After i had put about 3,500 miles on the car, a small staple (1/16 in deep) punctured one tire just between the wall and the tread,and the wall failed and it ran flat. I took it back to the dealer and they said there was no warranty on these tires. There was a good year tire warranty booklet in the glove box but no bridgestone booklet for the turanza's. When i put the spare tire on to take the car back to the dealer, i learned that the spare was mounted on a 17 in rim and was not a low profile tire like the turanza's. My complaints are (1) the 17 inch standard tire for a spare when it is 2 inches smaller than the other tires and is not a low profile. I am worried that if i drive very far on the spare i will damage running gear or break an axle due to these differences. (2) all the turanza's on the honda say they were made in japan and when i tried to register the tires on line with bridgestone, it asked for a city and dot. The dot is ejn1jhe3612 but there is no city on the tire so can't register it. The bridgestone website lists locations of manufacturing plants but none are listed in japan. Am i running knock-off bridgestone tires? And (3) the tire failed at the intersection between the wall and the tread from a very small staple that barely stuck to the rubber and it should not have were it made to industry standards. Thank you
