Example complaints

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

“The tire that I believe is faulty, ran low on air for a little while, then I aired it up - everything was fine until I tried to go into town one evening and it felt like I was riding on my rim. It sounded awful. Once I was stopped at a street light, I opened my car door and there were pieces of tire just sitting underneath my car and under the tire. So I finally pulled into a gas station, sure enough, I was riding my rim. I came to conclusion that my tire was debeading, and I was sold a possible faulty tire.”
