What NHTSA recorded

These tires have bead damage which occured during tire mounting.

Possible consequence

This damage to the tire reinforcing structure in the bead "toe" area causes a bulge in the sidewall after the tire is inflated. This condition will result in a slow air loss causing the tire to go flat. However, it is possible for the damage to result in a rapid air loss causing injuries to anyone if they were handling the tire when this occurred.

Remedy

Dealers will demount each tire and inspect for bead damage. If bead damage is found, the tire will be replaced.
