Consumer Description

WE WERE DRIVING ON RT 28 IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY WHEN OUR FRONT RIGHT TIRE HAD A BLOW OUT. THE NEXT DAY WE TOOK OUR CAR TO A LOCAL GARAGE. THE FRONT TIRE HAD A HUGE HOLE IN IT EVEN THOUGH WE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. UPON INSPECTION OF ALL FOUR TIRES, IT WAS FOUND THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WERE SPLIT ON THE INSIDE. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE TIRES ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKED FINE, BUT THE INSIDE OF ALL FOUR TIRES WERE SPLIT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THESE TIRES. WE HAVE KEPT THESE TIRES IN THE EVENT THEY ARE NEEDED FOR ANY FURTHER INSPECTION. *AK
