Consumer Description

I WAS PUTTTING AIR IN A FLAT TIRE IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD BANG AND THE TIRE COLLASPED. I LOOKED AT THE TIRE ( BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/T 687 235/55R18 DOT # EL7CCFH5012) AND SAW A 12 INCH RIP IN THE SIDEWALL. THE EXPLOSION CAUSED A FENDER BRACKET TO BREAK AND CRACKED MY FRONT BUMPER. I SENT IT BACK TO MFGR. AND THEY SAID THE TIRE WAS NOT DEFECTIVE AND DENIED REQUEST FOR COMPENSSATION FOR MY DAMAGES AND TIRE REPLACEMENT.
