The issue deepens!!!

I have spoken to bridgestone and they are now prepared to refund the money that the garage has paid to the Wholesaler and not to me!

This put me totally out of pocket for something that is totally not my fault.

I have stated to Bridgestone that there is nowhere to check for tyres sizes against rims on their website and that independant websites was an alternative source of information.

My garage that sold me the tyres suspect it came from Europe - This means that bridgestone will not give a credit note as they are UK Based.

All,
Do you think that the Garage that supplied me the tyres is at fault under 'duty of care'?

OR

Bridgestone for not informing the garage of this fault, nor supplying or having the information available to the customer? (not even a message to contact bridgestone technical on thier unavailable website)?

I cant drive my car, and its got to the point that i just want rid of the damn tyres.

Why should I have to pay for another set of tyres?????? AND wait for a refund that could take upto 6 weeks?

I feel I have been treated unfairly, I have provided the information at hand to Bridgestone - I feel they should just take the tyres off me and provide me the correct size.

I have even given them an opportunity to provide the 265/40/17's on the SO'3 just to make a point about the sizes and each the transation thru - but Bridgestone declined stating that they cannot recommend a tyre to fit a Nissan Skyline GTR33 with a 17x10j Rim.

Your thoughts please!!!!
