“I have had 4 tire failures on my 1997 Saturn ION. All tires were goodyear assurance 195/60/r15 tires. In ones instance, a tread separation occurred. In two instances, bubbles developed on the inside sidewall of a front tire. The fourth instance also had sidewall damage, but whether there was a bubble first is not know.

“Started driving my 2007 Saturn ION from tampa to orlando. When I notice a vibration through out the vehicle. It gradually grew worse so I pulled over. At which time something flew out from under my car. Coming to a stop, I checked the car out and saw nothing wrong. I started driving, in hopes to make it to the next exit, but it didn't. The vibration got ridiculous and I pulled over to find my front driver side tire flat. Upon removing the tire, discovered a large piece of threading was missing along with other damage to the inside of the tire. …”
