Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving down I-40 east between morrisonville and cary in north carolina where the speed limit is 65 MPH and had a plow out. There were only 20,000 miles on the tires, I just had the vehicle serviced in may of this year. The yokohama tire shredded just leaving the tread and the rim. Fortunately, there were no injuries except for the fear of my seven-year-old grandson, on an interstate with vehicles speeding down the highway on a friday afternoon, for the weekend. I had to purchase a new tire and now I am told I will have to buy 3 more because the truck is a 4 wheel drive. …”
