Side wall tear is never covered under warranty for any Tyre company..! I've seen a new lancer cedia with a side wall tear, recently when I had gone for my lancer service..and it was just plainly the drivers fault..maybe he might have gone over those small steel rods that sometime protude over a divider edge or road edge..or it was sharp edge stone..! Driving style would matter in this case to avoid stones and edges of the road...rather than turn the blind eye and imagine your wheels as a tractor setup..! I think Satya get in touch with a Bridgestone regional office, dealers sometimes don't wish to give replacements as the replaced tyre comes from a different stock...and if they give you that replacement they can't sell that replacement tyre...! My expierence with bridgestone has been great..They lasted their life in my Lancer as OEM, and when I purchased Potenza G3, I had one of the wheels having an Air Bubble after 100 KM, The dealer was very nice and changed the tyre into a new one with the approval of the Engineer over the phone..!
