On 10/04/07 i bought a lemans champion hr bl 195/690r15 88h tire from firestone complete auto care buena park. on 11/1107 i notice the tire was flat i check the tire for any hole or tear's i could not find any. the pressure of the tire before i refilled it was 19 psi after wards it was at 31.8 psi. i check the tire pressure 10 day later on 11/21/07 it was at 25 psi. i took it back to the store to be replaced. i told them what was going on they ran some test and could not find anything wrong so they did not replace the tire. i believe there is a defect in this tire. *tr
Regarding the bridgestone tires originally installed on my car - the car was purchased essentially new off of the lot in 2005 (300 miles). it has the original tires - bridgestone p195/60/r15. it now has about 2000 miles on the car. the left front tire blew out while driving and had to be replaced. the tread area had apparently separated from the sidewall - a split about an inch long. there is almost 1/2" of tread on the tire, and they appeared fine until this apparent separation of tread and sidewall, but the tire could not be repaired and i had to buy a new one. *jb
