Bridgestone Tyres India Complaints & Reviews

I purchased 4 tyres (Ep-150 155/80r13) from tyre dynamics on feb 2019.
Within a month i faced issues, upon verification i found that one of the tyre had 2 very small holes on sidewalls. I left my tyre for inspection in showroom and got a report that "we regret our inabilty to offer you any replacement as the failure was not due to any manufacturing fault
And cause of failure is sidewall cut-penetration".
Firstly thing there is no cut and no signs of external object hitting it. I am attaching photos for same.
Secondly the holes are so minute that you cannot locate it with naked eyes until you put water on it.
While selling tyre you guys claim it has 7 layers and when there is a damage you say it happened due to external object eventhough there is no cut mark and warranty is denied.
Please look into the matter urgently. My app refrence no. : e1908018.

Please find below details and do needful, i'm completely not satisfied with the service response. Complain no. : e1908486
I had brought mahindra xuv500 w10 car dated 21.11.2017 and i used my car approx 10448 kms and found front crack on my right rear tyre.
I complained on 10.03.2018 about the same to the dealer of narian automobiles, hazartganj, lucknow where i purchased the car.
I received a message on 25.03.2018 from the bridgestone that my complain is rejected and it is attached along with this email.
So, i request you to replace my tire as soon as possible.
Thank you

Dear sir,
I have purchased one tyre bearing Sl.No-155/70 R 13 Bridgestone B290 TL from PODDAR DISTRIBTORS, Haragouri Vihar, Ainthapali, N H-6, Sambalpur on Dtd.16.10.2018 bearing Invoice No-2019. The tyre was damaged 10 days before. I have informed to Poddar Traders but they advise to contact with a contact number [protected] of Mr. Swaraj. I have sent the photo of the tyre also. But till now action has been taken from your end.
Hope for the best.
Thanks. Umakant Nayak, Burla, Sambalpur.

I bought car ignis zeta d in jan'18 and since then it has run for 21000 kms. The tyre are radial tubeless. Since very beginning due to soft tyre nature, it is getting very frequently and majorly getting punchtres for two tyre. The first punchtre took at around 5000 kms, where there were more than 12 different punchtres and recently last week has 13 punchtres on other tyre. This is barring one/two punchtres very frequently in these tyre. This is because of soft nature of tyre. I always use nitrogen filled air in tyre and take utmost care. Bust this frequent tyre punchtre is a mojor concern of bridgestone tyre. There is no cut mark on tyre but getting very frequently punchtred. It is creating a major dissatisfaction while on road. Would request appropriate management to take necessary steps to replace my two tyres to ensure having getting desired tyre life. Only two tyres are frequently getting punctured, other two are okay and perfect in my car.

I reconfirm to my communication, would urge appropiate management to revert action on it and waiting to hear solution on major two tyre failures in my car. Mh14gs0452.

Have been a regular bridgestone customer since 2010. Purchased bridgestone tyres from govind wheel care [protected] at tonk road pratap nagar jaipur for the second time in a row. Last time recently only. Had wheel balancing alignment and weight done on 17th jan 2019. The irresponsible work force didnt fixed tyre bolts properly then despite making a hefty bill. Today first time since then, one of the tyre got punchured and local mechanic at the nearby petrol pump was unable to reopen 2 bolts out of 4. He stated it was wrongly fixed. Then in hope i went to the experts - govind wheel care from whom i actually got it done, they too were unable to open it. I asked to try there level best since they only fixed it wrongly. But to my surprise the staff was irresponsibly reluctant and unabashedly refused to acknowledge there mistake that it is there fault to fix it wrongly. But worse was yet to come there owner himself was trying ignore me and refused to cooperate. Result - i am getting it done from a local mechanic exactly in front of govind wheel care just paid rs 650 for new bolts and punchure.
Totally disgusted - working with election department rajasthan have missed a career defining video conference with eci new delhi. Have myself worked with automobile company as dealer account manager in the past thats why was hopeful of a responsible behaviour from those nurds at govind wheel care tonk road pratap nagar jaipur

Have decided to not only discontinue with the brand but would definitely indulge in spreading bad word of mouth about bridgstone especially govind wheel care [protected] tonk road pratap nagar jaipur

Suggest you to snatch dealership from them if you really give a damn about customer satisfaction.

I bought new suv creta from hans hyundai, moti nagar, delhi. Within 1.2 years both the rear tyres have developed cracks. Car dealer refused to do anything and sent us to bridgestone select galaxy motors, tilak nagar, where the engineer examined the tyres and said that the cracks, localized rupture and denied any further help as it is not a manufacturing defect.
1. How come both tyres rupture simultaneously?
2. The suv has just completed 1.2 years and 25000km, and both rear tyres gone. Earlier we have drived other cars also on the same roads and never faced such problem.
3. The engineer is trying to put all the blame on us and trying to save himself from any help or compensation.
We want to replace the worn out tyres as these are still under warranty peroid and the company is totally denying. What further step should we take?

Hi i have bought a new tata tigor & ji got four company fitted tyres 250 tl 175/60 r15 81 h.
I have driven aprox 17000 km till today & i have to replace 2 of tyres due to unusual sidewall damage within 3/4 months from purchase. Today i have seen that one of tyre is swelling unusually. Since i have to buy 2 new tyres. I observed throghly to find out the cause.. Even i started checking tyre presure regularly..

Previously i thought that the damge was by stone but currently i am feeling this is a quality issue so plz check why its is happening.

I am owner of ford ecosport. Last month my car's bridgestone tyre got burst while driving on nh 1 between ganaur to panipat. I had complaint to bridgestone and ford both for the same but bridgestone rejected the claim after which i had replaced the tyre with charges. But today again while driving same new tyre got burst.
We have many bumps on road and most of indian roads are uneaven. If these tyres are not capable of taking weight of vehicle why company is giving these tyres with the product.

Or is it means your tyres are not meant for offroad areas.

Please look into this and if possible please take your tyres back and give my cost back so that i can buy some other tyres for my vehicle as i have purchased this vehicle for my ease not to visit ford office again and again

We started our trip on 26th Dec morning just within 130 Kilometers on Bangalore Mysore highway we met with the Deadly road accident due to Tyre Burst. Front Left tyre got burst Car was out of control which lead to deadly accident. Whole family was inside the Car lucky it was a narrow escape and had minor injuries and luckier because no one on road got hurt. We purchase Bridgestone tyres based on the review but seriously is this a quality that you maintain. ONE OF THE WORST TYPRES. Invoice Copy attached. Car is now in Mandovi Motors Mysore. Photos of our Car accident enclosed. Have a look at it and do respond to this Complaint.
Solution- We want the company to bare the repair charges and also to do a quality check replace with the new Tyres for all 4 wheels

Dear sir
I am a senior executive with the age of 57 while driving the car at around 9 pm on 24th november in nh 16 near to siminai after denkanal district head quarter my tyre was burst in the deep jungle area where the signboard was the elephant walkways don't stay. Having no other alternative drive around another 2 km from the place to escape from the danger area. God help and save and my one child who was going to appear his semistar on very next day.
On return i have handover the tyre to the concerned dealer on 2nd december2018. After repeated followup one mister satish panigrahi has verified the tyre and stating there is a cutting.
I would like to inform you that i have put 4 tyres at a time and only 18000 km runs approximately. Give me the proper justice.

I had bought 4 new bridgestone potenza re88 tyres in 2016. Since then the car has hardly driven 3000 kms and i have noticed that there is a bubble on two tyres. The car hardly does few kms of local running (Within 5 kms radius) and the bubble is definitely due to contact with any any object.

The local dealer from whom i purchased the tyre says, the tyre has only 1 year warranty, which i don't think is true. Irrespective of the warranty period, tyres going out of shape in just 3000 kms of driving is not acceptable or a testimony of the quality of the product.

The tyres were purchased from kumar tyres in dahisar, mumbai.

I am costumer of maruthi suzuki dzire last year i had buyed a car. The car tyres were company of bridgestones i had travelled 26500km after few months i had complaint i had found outside of the tyre an small size of bubble. I had given a complaint to your costumer service at vijayawada. They said that the clime was rejected. The costumer service said that this tyre is sutuable for only plane road not for kacha road. My tyres photos and details were attached are attached below.

I had purchased one new verna fluid provided with 4-brdgestone tubeless tyres. But after running about 9000 kms and above 02-tyres out of 04 numbers got balloons on outer periphery just like a big tumer. The bridgestone company does not care for it though it was informed.
