I have been using my Bridgestone Turanza T005 tire for about eight months, and my vehicle has only covered 8,000 kilometers in total. However, while driving on the Istanbul TEM Highway, my car suddenly started shaking and swerving uncontrollably. I barely managed to regain control and safely pull over to the emergency lane. When I got out to inspect the vehicle, I saw that the tire had completely disintegrated.

Although I didn’t suffer any financial loss, the situation was extremely dangerous — I was lucky to escape unharmed. This is the first time I’ve ever experienced such an incident, and for a tire to fail so catastrophically in such a short time and at such low mileage is unacceptable.

I have not yet contacted Bridgestone because, based on past experiences and feedback, I don’t believe it would lead to a meaningful result. Nevertheless, I am requesting that Bridgestone replace my damaged tire and issue a formal apology for this serious defect and the safety risk it caused.

"Hello, about 3 weeks ago, I was directed by Bridgestone authorities to an authorized dealer and my tires were removed so that they could be inspected at the factory. On 04.11.2025, I was informed that there was no fault found by the factory. Today, when I called the dealer where I had my tires removed to ask about their status, I was told that my tires were not actually sent to the factory, but instead photos were taken and the evaluation was made that way. If the process could be handled with photos, why were my tires removed? During this time, I was forced to use my car with tires from 2014 that I found on my own. What would have happened if I had an accident or similar incident due to the old tires during this period? If my tires were not going to be sent to the factory for inspection, why were they removed? I am addressing Bridgestone authorities here; I want my grievance to be resolved urgently."
