Consumer Description

CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH LOW PROFILE TIRES AND THEY GO FLAT WHEN VEHICLE STRIKES A POTHOLE. I HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES AFTER JUST 10,000 MILES(WENT FROM CONTINENTAL TO BRIDGESTONE). IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS, BETWEEN 10,000 AND 11,000 MILES, I WENT THROUGH 4 MORE TIRES DUE TO THIS TYPE OF TIRE STRIKING A POTHOLE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 50 YEARS, HAD 3 FLAT AND 1 VANDALIZED TIRE AND NOW GONE THROUGH 8 TIRES IN 6 MONTHS!
