THREE OF THE FOUR OEM TIRES THAT CAME ON MY VEHICLE HAVE NEEDED REPLACEMENT DUE TO DAMAGED SIDEWALLS. THE OEM TIRES ARE 16 INCH NEXEN CP671 205/55R16 TIRES, AND MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 23,000 MILES ON IT. *TR THE FIRST TIRE (FRONT PASSENGER) DEVELOPED A WEAK EXTERNAL SIDEWALL ON OR ABOUT 12/31/13, WITH 7,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.
