Bridgestone Duravis Tyre R660 Eco 215/65R16C 109/107T

The subject tyre is more susceptible to cuts and partial penetrations than anticipated when used in rugged and wet environments. In a small number of cases, these cuts can lead to moisture intrusion and subsequent oxidation of the tyre belt. Resulting corrosion may create a separation area which could grow over time. This may present as a tyre bulge, tread deformation and/or additional tread cuts which may become apparent on the tread surface. 

Extended use of the tyre with moisture intrusion and oxidation of the belt package can, in a small number of cases overseas, lead to tread deformation and if use continues without detection, it may end in tread delamination. Bridgestone has also determined that rust induced tread separation may result in rapid air loss during vehicle operation. This could affect vehicle handling and could increase the risk of an accident. These events have not occurred in Australia or New Zealand and have not resulted in any injury or a road collision/other accident to date in cases overseas.
