Bridgestone Alenza A/S Ultra All Season 255/65R18 111T SUV/Crossover Tire

My RAM 1500 came with the older version of these tires that had a 40,000 mile warranty. At 30,000 they had strange wear patterns on three of the four tires even though they had been rotated multiple times, correct pressure maintained, and NO alignment issues. Got a 25% reduction is new set of four due to prorated mileage failure and really loved the new ones at first. Now with only 25,000 miles on them it is clear they won't make it to 50,000 let alone 70,000 or 80,000 or whatever they claim. Bigger problem is today pulling out of driveway the passenger front tire blew out. I did not hit anything, there was no road hazard, the sidewall simply failed going over the 1" curb from my driveway to the street. Thank God I was not driving down the highway with my three kids in the car. I am filing a report with NTSB to see if their are manufacturing problems reported with these tires as I do not feel safe keeping them on my truck. The dealer insists a tire cannot simply blow out and I must have hit something but the RAM Roadside tech said it was clearly a sidewall band problem and it was obvious I hit nothing, and there was nothing in the road or stuck in the tire.

I purchased these tires to replace the set my vehicle came with. They are rated for 75000-80000 miles, which was a major factor when buying. 35000 miles later the tread is shot! I drive the speed limit and am not a reckless driver. It was a complete waste of money buying these horrible tires. I now switched to Goodyear, as I have had very good usage on my trucks. A much better ride, very quiet and a lot cheaper. I'll never waste my time or money on Bridgestone again.
