On 11/19/08, I was travelling at approx 30 mph when my passenger front tire bumped the curb. The tire "exploded"(according to the driver behind me)- and I could not steer the car- crashing head first into a cement based light pole. I was fine, no one else was involved- but the car was totaled. I had Bridgestone Turnza tires on the car(purchased new on 5/15/08)- and have since read multiple reviews with similar stories, of premature tread wear and even "spontaneous" combustion of these tires.
There was a class action lawsuit against Bridgestone for not recalling these tires- but apparently the case has been dismissed because although there are hundreds of similar complaints, no one can prove that the tire issues aren't related to other problems(over/under inflation, punctures from the road etc.)
SO PLEASE PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW THAT MIGHT HAVE THESE TIRES ON THEIR CARS- THEY ARE DANGEROUS!!!!!!!!!!!
