“Original DOT tire # was on tires the dealer replaced and we paid for. On both occasionsi was going slow when I heard noise of a tire going flat. I have bag the dealer gave to my husband that contains a portion of tire fragments and debris like it just peeled off. This car was purchased new and these were the original tires that came with the car. Luckily I was going slow and not on the interstate. There was a puncture on both tires but this could also be from the separation of the tread or driving on it til I could get off the road into a safe place. …”
