Consumer Description

TIRE SIZE 235-40-18 - ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT LOW PROFILE WHEEL TIRE SIZE EXHIBITS NUMEROUS BLOW OUTS IN ROAD HAZARDS SUCH AS POT HOLES AND CAUSES EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE BLOWN 6 TIRES IN 2 YEARS COSTING OVER $3000.00 PLUS IN REPAIRS NOT TO MENTION THE DANGEROUS TRAFFIC SAFETY CONDITIONS CREATED BY A BLOWN TIRE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IT IS A MIRACLE I WAS NOT KILLED . I BELIEVE LOW PROFILE TIRES IN GENERAL ARE DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE OUTLAWED BELOW (245 PROFILE AT LEAST). I REQUEST THAT THE PROBLEM BE INVESTIGATED AND DATA COLLECTED, ANALYZED AND CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN AS - I SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON SAFETY COMPLAINT. WITH LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF BLOG STORIES OF HARROWING BLOW OUT EVENTS SIMILAR TO MINE ON THE INTERNET. THANK YOU. *TR
