Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“At 31700 miles I noticed a bulge in the sidewall of the left front tire. I replaced both front tires with the identical brand. At 41239 miles, I again noticed a large bulge in the left front tire in the sidewall. I again will have the tires replaced before I have a blow-out. I have read other reviews on this tire and it seems many others have experienced the same problem. It could be quite hazardous if I didn't catch the problem before driving at highway speeds. (tiresize: p205 55 16)( DOT number: tire size: p205 55 16 )”
