Bridgestone customer service can help with tire selection, fitment, warranty questions, dealer inspections, tire registration, recalls and other product concerns. For a suspected tire defect or warranty claim, the selling retailer or another authorized Bridgestone dealer will often need to inspect the tire before the manufacturer can determine coverage.

Bridgestone Tire Warranty Help
Warranty coverage depends on the exact tire, purchase date, retailer, mileage, tread condition and reason the tire became unusable.
Bridgestone currently identifies its Platinum Pact Limited Warranty on eligible Bridgestone passenger and light-truck tires.
Winter tires and temporary-use spare tires can be subject to different coverage.
Individual Bridgestone tire models may also carry a limited mileage warranty. Current product lines show that mileage coverage varies considerably by model and tire size.
Before buying tires, check the warranty information shown for the exact tire rather than assuming every Bridgestone product receives the same mileage coverage.
How to Start a Bridgestone Warranty Claim
A Bridgestone warranty concern should normally begin with a tire inspection.
- Locate the original purchase receipt.
- Record the tire model, size and DOT information.
- Keep the tire available for inspection.
- Return to the selling retailer or another authorized Bridgestone or Firestone retailer.
- Provide mileage and maintenance records when tread wear is involved.
- Ask the retailer to document the reported condition.
- Call Bridgestone Warranty and Technology Support at 1-800-847-3272 if additional manufacturer assistance is required.
Do not discard a tire involved in a warranty dispute before the retailer or Bridgestone has had an opportunity to inspect it.
Bridgestone 90-Day Buy & Try Guarantee
Many current Bridgestone replacement tires advertise a 90-Day Buy & Try Guarantee.
Bridgestone’s current tire pages describe the program as for exchange only and state that:
- Only eligible Bridgestone or Firestone tires can be used as replacement tires.
- Proof of purchase is required.
- In-store installation is required and costs extra.
- Other conditions, fees and taxes may apply.
Not every Bridgestone tire or transaction qualifies.
Eligibility can depend on:
- Tire model
- Quantity purchased
- Retailer
- Whether the tire was replacement or original equipment
- How the tire was used
- Condition of the tire
Check the current warranty information for the exact tire and contact the selling retailer before the 90-day period expires.
Bridgestone Limited Mileage Warranties
Bridgestone does not use one mileage warranty for its entire tire lineup.
Examples of current products include tires advertising:
- 50,000-mile limited warranties
- 70,000-mile limited warranties
- Up to 80,000-mile limited warranties
Other tires may not carry a mileage warranty at all.
Coverage can also vary by:
- Tire size
- Speed rating
- Vehicle application
- Maintenance history
Keep records of tire rotations, alignment checks and other maintenance when a treadwear claim may be necessary.
Road-Hazard Damage vs. Manufacturer Defects
A manufacturer warranty and a retailer road-hazard plan are not the same thing.
Damage from:
- Nails or screws
- Potholes
- Curbs
- Impact breaks
- Cuts or punctures
may be handled differently from a defect in materials or workmanship.
Some retailers sell separate tire-protection or road-hazard plans.
If a Bridgestone tire suffers road damage, check the original invoice to see whether separate road-hazard coverage was purchased and ask the retailer which program applies.
Bridgestone Tire Safety Problems
Some tire conditions require immediate professional attention rather than waiting for a customer-service response.
Arrange for professional inspection if a tire develops:
- A sidewall bulge
- Exposed cords
- Tread separation
- Rapid air loss
- Severe vibration
- Significant impact damage
A tire can have internal damage that is not obvious from the outside.
If the tire may be unsafe, reduce speed safely, stop driving when appropriate and arrange for inspection or towing.
Bridgestone Tire Registration
Bridgestone encourages customers to register replacement tires.
Registration helps the manufacturer identify customers whose tires may be included in a future safety recall.
Use the Bridgestone website and select the tire-registration option.
Information typically needed includes:
- DOT tire identification information
- Tire model and size
- Purchase date
- Dealer information
- Owner contact information
Keep your registration and purchase records with the vehicle’s maintenance documentation.
Bridgestone Tire Recall Help
For a possible recall, first locate the DOT tire identification information molded into the tire sidewall.
Then:
- Check Bridgestone’s current Recall Information.
- Compare the exact tire model, size and DOT information.
- Contact an authorized Bridgestone or Firestone retailer if the tire appears to be included.
- Follow the remedy instructions in the recall notice.
Consumers can also use the NHTSA Recall Search to research tire recalls or report a possible safety defect.
Do not delay recall service because a tire appears visually normal.
Finding an Authorized Bridgestone Dealer
Bridgestone’s website provides a nationwide dealer locator.
An authorized dealer can help with:
- New tire purchases
- Fitment
- Installation
- Balancing
- Rotation
- Tire inspection
- Warranty adjustments
Not every retailer listed as selling Bridgestone tires is owned by Bridgestone.
For a complaint about labor, pricing, installation or store employees, identify the company that actually performed and charged for the work.
Bridgestone and Firestone
Bridgestone and Firestone are closely related brands under Bridgestone Americas.
This is why Bridgestone warranty information and authorized-retailer guidance frequently refer to both Bridgestone and Firestone.
However, the tire models and warranty programs are not always identical.
When requesting support, give the representative the exact brand and tire model rather than simply saying the tires were purchased from a Bridgestone/Firestone dealer.
Bridgestone Corporate Office Information
Bridgestone Americas currently lists:
Bridgestone Americas, Inc.

- Corporate office: 615-937-1000

Start with the tire retailer, Bridgestone Service Center or warranty-support route before escalating to corporate personnel.
How to Escalate a Bridgestone Complaint
