Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Truck started shaking like a tire was out of round. Right front tire had separation (several large bubbles on the inside of the tire). I replaced that tire with a spare of a different brand. About 2 weeks later the left rear tire had the same issue. These tires are less than 1 year old and have less then 15,000 miles. I do not trust these tires any more and replaced them at significant cost.”
