Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Bought full set of tires 2 years ago. Over one year I had 6 flat tires from punctures, one of which punctured the tire so bad as to make it unrepairable. Four of these incidents were driving on normal roads, the other two on gravel roads. So called 'all terrain' tires should not be so prone to puncturing. ( DOT number: tire size: 235/15 )”
