My wife was driving back home on the turnpike. The front left tires tread separated from the core and almost caused a serious 2-car accident. The tread damaged our car. No one was hurt and the only damage was to our car. The bad tire did not go flat; it just lost all of its tread. I contacted Bridgestone and used their procedure to claim damages. I got all the estimates and shipped the tire to them for examination. They sent me a form letter stating there was evidence of "over deflection" and denied any compensation. Over deflection is an under inflated tire. My tire was not under inflated. I kept detail records of the entire set of tires. I check inflation regularly and I never let a car leave town without checking the inflation. All 4 tires were properly inflated. I have replaced all the tires (even though almost half the tread was still left on the other 3 tires). …

The chrome plated wheels were purchased from & installed by Toyota dealer when I bought the car. The plating started to peel off since early 2000. Then, my tires (no matter what brand of the tires I used) showed leaking on two of them due to the serious corrosion of the rims. I have to pump the air every week in order to maintain the correct pressure as of today. It's getting worse... I believe this is the issue causing by the wheel manufacturer Toyota authorized and the cheap materials they used. I bought the top of the line model with the chrome wheels installed by Toyota. Obviously, I didn't get what I've paid for!

I'm concerned with the peeling of the outer surface of my wheel rims that are peeling off, I think it could be dangerous to anyone in the vicinity when it flies off. It could possibly strike the hose that control the brakes, & could do any number of damages to pedestrians and other vehicles. Could you check this out ??
