Tire making very loud noise at all speeds. Even harmonic rattling of inside car trim around 20-25 mph. The sound is the tire you are hearing and that is with ALL THE WINDOWS ROLLED UP. The dealer I bought the car NEW from in late 2012 BS me and informs me I have to pay a"diagnostic Fee". Then claims tire only has 12000 12 month warranty despite, I pointed out, the book says 60,000 6 years in the glove box.. I will never ever buy another Mazda again..
Oh, and the car still has the bumper to bumper 36,000 warranty in effect; yea right, a warranty.. The car has had multiple oil changes from this same dealer and they always gave the car a "Green Light", no problems, so there is a service history documented on this car even with the after market rims. The rims are same size and specs as the factory and the dealer knows this from previous servicing of the car. I paid to have all the tires balance checked and are okay; rotated tires rear to front and noise went to the front left from the rear left. Had the alignment checked, all okay, also the suspension all okay and rims are all okay.
I drive slowly at around 2-5 mph I can hear a "thump" every rotation coming from that tire; there is nothing stuck in the tire. I am scared the tire is separating and will explode if I continue to drive on it. I have had to buy another tire NOT BRIDGESTONE and will have to have it installed. All the tires including this defective one still has a majority of the tread still on them. The car is used to commute back and forth for work.
