EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON REAR OF 06 AND 07 HONDA CIVICS DUE TO A COMBINATION OF THE TIRES AND REAR SUSPENSION GEOMETRY. TIRES ARE RENDERED UNSAFE AND MUST BE REPLACED ALONG WITH UPPER CONTROL ARMS AND FLANGE BOLTS. TIRES ARE FROM GOODYEAR, BRIDGESTONE, AND DUNLOP. NUMEROUS POSTS ARE ON THE INTERNET, INCLUDING ACCIDENTS WITH PROPERTY DAMAGE. HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL AND WILL ONLY PERFORM SERVICE ON A CUSTOMER COMPLAINT.
WAS DRIVING ALONG I-10 EASTBOUND IN PHOENIX, AZ AROUND 4:45 AM ON MY WAY TO WORK AND I HEARD AND THUMPING NOISE FROM THE REAR OF VEHICLE AND THEN THE TIRE BLOW OUT COUSING DAMAGE TO THE LEFT REAR SECTION OF MY VEHICLE. TIRE WAS BRIDGESTONE P225/60 R16 97T M+S EL4Z PL6 DOT Y7X0 (PL6) (4604) LOIL. WHEN I BOUGHT THE TIRES FROM WAL-MART IN AZ HAD TOO HAVE ONE (1) REPLACED DUE TO SEPARTING FROM THE INSIDE OF TIRE WHICH WAS ON 01-26-2007 AND THEN HAD TO HAVE ON REPLACED AFTER THE SIDE WALL BLOW OUT 06-28-2007 AND BOTH TIME TIRES WERE REPLACED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BRIDGESTONE TIRES FOR DEFECTS. THANK YOU
ONE DAYS AFTER DRIVING FROM SALT LAKE CITY AIRPORT TO PARK CITY, UTAH, THE DODGE AVENGER'S TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. FEARING THAT THE TIRE(S) WERE LOW, I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND FILLED TWO TIRES. AS SOON AS I PUT THE PUMP ON THE THIRD TIRE, THE VALVE CRACKED OFF AND ALL THE AIR CAME OUT OF THE TIRE. I REPLACED THE TIRE WITH THE UTILITY SPARE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A TIRE SHOP, AND THE GENTLEMAN AT THE TIRE SHOP TOLD ME THE VALVES ON THESE CARS BREAK EASILY. THE TIRE SHOP HAD TO REPLACE THE VALVE BY ORDERING ONE FROM THE DODGE DEALER, AND THE PART DID NOT ARRIVE FOR TWO DAYS. THE APPROXIMATE COST FOR REPLACING THE VALVE WAS $90. FOR THE TWO DAYS DURING THE REPAIR, THE CAR COULD NOT BE TAKEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I KEPT THE BROKEN PART OF THE VALVE.

Bridgestone turanza EL400: what the numbers tell you
Manufacturer treadwear data for the Turanza EL400 is not publicly listed. This is common for OEM-only or track-day tires that don't carry a US treadwear warranty. No mileage warranty is published for this tire, which is typical for performance summer and track-day rubber where the manufacturer doesn't make wear-life claims.
Cabin noise data for this tire is not published by the manufacturer. As a all-season tire built for the truck-suv segment, the Turanza EL400 is positioned against direct rivals within the same category. Comparing it to a tire in a different category (e.g. summer vs all-season) makes the spec sheet misleading because the design targets are not the same.
