“No discerning issues leading up to the tire failure, it's been multiple failures, induces by potholes or road grates you would normally encounter while driving. In 2 incidents the sidewalls of the tires failed completely ripping the tire sidewall open. One simply just flattened the tire, as of now, the shop is closed today so I don't know if it's repairable yet.”
