Message	I contacted Bridgestone and they wouldn't warranty them. They said I could ship them to them for an "investigation" but I didn't think it would've been worth the shipping price. They checked the manufacture date and nothing strange came up on their end. Oh well, I'm sure I got a bad batch, it was just a bummer I didn't get much life out of them. Still much happier with michelins.
