Description of the problem | Bridgestone b420, 215-70r15 tire => tread appears to be separating from body of tire. Tread still plentiful. Engaged firestone corporate on 2 occassions to learn how i can have tire assessed to determine if manufacture\'s defect, and on both occassion they couldn\'t assist => told that since tire was sold by sears (i. E. Made for sears retail tire stores only) that sear would have to assess / warranty tire. Firestone could not provide me name of appropriate \sears\ contact. How should i determine if tire has manufacturer defective if manufacture is unwilling to look at it? |
