Purchased 2 Bob Jane Tyres last October and have done 5,000 ks, yesterday bumped a sharp gutter and damaged the sidewall, took it to Bob Jane expecting to pay for a new tyre but they replaced it for free, thanks Bob Jane.
policy is only for Bob Jane tyres with less than 20% wear
Better than Bridgestone Blowout through side of tyre 15,000 Ks Tyre Delaminated on inside Technicians said never seen one like it before in 30 years - Bridgestone would not replace - had to outlay $320 to get replacement (they said would return to Bridgestone and I would be reimbursed after their testing) Needless to say no further information from Bridgestone. Come in SUCKER.

macka, I agree with a pro rata contribution - but after paying nearly $1300 for 4 tyres which were replacements for previous Bridgestones - The tyre tread looked as if no wear but the delamination on inside of all the layers was something else and definitely cause of blowout through side wall - they didn't even contribute to any of the replacement cost - pretty poor show I thought.

Probably unlucky fella. I've used Bridgy's for over 20 yrs. ALWAYS (99% anyway) A\T 10pr. Always run at 32 cold with maybe up a couple up with van on rear. Rotate every 10k. and 5-6k when towing.
Always changed out at around 50\55k I like to see tread on my tyres.
and they seem to get a little "slippy" in wet with van on after that point. Compound seems to change?.
Delam like that. I'd have come the "Consumer Affairs" and Fit for use. line.
I rang Bridgy head office (on line no) and they told me to go to......
They were waiting.

hi
Its disappointing in OZ that even the tyre companies a ripping people off .
The reality is greed plain and simple .
They use to offer free Wheel align /balance /rotate for the life of tyre .Prorata, Goodyear was just one company.
As we all are aware the tyre prices in the USA common tyre size -- A/T cheap brand /common brand thru to Michelin . AMAZING 40$ difference between all .
Cheap started at 90$$ to the MIchelin at 145$
Bridge stone might be a quality tyre but not at 300-400$$ Just plain greed ..
