“I purchased bridgestone dueler alenza hl tires at 42509 on 06/10/2009 and on 04/10/2011 I had a slow leak and went to bridgestone dealer for repair but noticed cracking in tread. I was told this was normal! In may 2013 my mechanic said this cracking was dry rot and I verified with other tire dealer truck had 70693 mile. This is a 65000 mile tire and I only had 14000 miles before cracking started- this is a safety hazard. I did not go back to bridgestone dealer because I was given inaccurate info and I bought michelin instead. …”
