My wife bought a 2023 Toyota Highlander. It came with Bridgestone Tires.
Sunday about noon as we were leaving a New Year's Eve/UGA football game party in Atlanta, we had a blowout. This happened on I-285 near Northside Drive. The tire had approximately 3200 miles on it. I looked at the tires prior to leaving our friend's house and the tire pressure gauge light was not showing on the dash.
If you have a car with Bridgestone tires, check them carefully. A recall has just been issued for our type of tire.

Glad you guys are safe. 285 is a near death experience at the best of times between the street racing, ignorant drivers, and gun play.

I found this as I just bought some Bridgestones
Bridgestone has issued a voluntary recall of 12,615 passenger tires that may have sustained bead cuts or tears during shipping, affecting some 2022 Toyota Tacoma, 2022 Toyota Highlander and 2022 Acura TLX models. Bridgestone estimates less than 1% of recalled tires may exhibit this condition, but the company is expanding the number of tires in scope as part of its longstanding commitment to safety, quality and customer satisfaction. Bridgestone is not aware of any accidents or injuries involving tires related to this recall. All known customers, distributors and dealers will receive notification of the recall with instructions on how to identify an affected tire with the damaged bead condition.
Bridgestone Americas and Bridgestone Canada (Bridgestone) are collectively issuing a voluntary recall on 12,615 tires that may have sustained bead damage due to a warehouse de-palletizer during the shipping process.

The impacted tires were shipped from the company’s passenger tire plant in Wilson, North Carolina between July 22, 2022, and August 8, 2022, and include the following tire products/brands:

Not surprised, Especially if Bridgestone is affiliated with the Firestone brand... Remember the Firestone "500" and "721" debacle of the 70's... And lest we forget the Firestone "Wilderness" disaster on the fords 20 ish yrs ago... "May have sustained Warehouse damage" my ass!... It Seems like this company still cant get it's schit together!

Bridgestone tires are the worst tires I know of. Bought a new Toyota 4x4 truck, @ 30K miles the tires were bald, truck not driven hard, no towing etc. .
Blow outs at highway speeds > scary deal.

I remember those years well. I had a 75 Corvette with Firestones on it. Had a blowout and the tire ate up the fiberglass. Bridgestone is Firestone with another name. The Bridgestone plant where the problem supposedly originated: Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations 3001 Firestone Pkwy NE Wilson NC 27893 ******************************************************* https://www.bridgestoneamericas.com/en/company/businesses/products/firestone
