NHTSA complaint #743566, filed 2001-04“I purchased 4 sigma regent 9m tires from tire kingdom in 2003. They only had 25,000 on them and 2 of them blew out on the expressway on 2 different occasions. It wasn't a normal blowout, as 2 different mechanics attested. The tire had wires coming out everywhere. I called tire kingdom and they said that since I don't have the tires (my daughter had the mechanics dispose of them after being towed to the nearest service center) they couldn't do anything. I just wanted to make someone aware of this because it could of caused an injury.”
