“I am the orginal owner of the vehicle. In the 2yrs I have owned this car I have brought 6 new tires. There is a problem with the wear. On 11/23 I had a tire blowout. There was a 9 inch rip between the tread and sidewall on each side of the tire. My major problem is the wear of the tire with the 01 Altima the tire pressure is 32. I have no idea if that contributes to the problems with the tires. Dt”
