2003 Oldsmobile Alero Tires Problems

“While driving on I-295 north near hamilton twp, nj at around 6:45pm at a speed of about 65 MPH, the right rear tire blew out completely. There was a 2-inch square hole on the outside of the tire. Conditions were normal and the driving surface was dry. Vehicle was towed to pep boys, beverly nj where I purchased all four starfire tires (rs-c 2.0 225/50/r16) on 12/27/2015. Each tire has the road hazard warranty.”

“Bought car in 2006, have had problems the entire time I've owned vehicle. Car does not crank, must wait 10 minutes and try to restart. Sometimes car does not start still, makes me wait another 10 min. Had multiple problems with system killing the battery while waiting - especially in winter, even with all extras (including heat) turned off. Not safe to have female in parking lot when car does not start! This happens two or three times some days, then will not reappear for a week or two, but theft light stays on dash constantly.”
