“I was driving on I 10 southbound with my two disabled children. My front driver's side tire blew out the sidewall in 1-2 inch chunks. It sounded like machine gun fire. I had to safely coast to the shoulder holding my steering wheel firmly and putting my car in neutral. I had air checks and balancing regularly. I keep my car in a garage with low mileage. Discount tires checked my tires on three occassions and told me to go to Toyota dealership for help. …”
NHTSA complaint #11290446, filed 2019-12, 24,000 miles“225/65R17. I purchased 4 new tires on 02/24/23. On 6/27/23, I found my driver's rear tire was completely flat. I had the 'donut' put on and took to the dealers. There was a 'bubble' around the rim and the tire was replaced. The dealer explained it was likely due to hitting a curb or pothole which I took exception to as I had done neither. On 7/31/23, my passenger-side rear tire was almost flat and there was again a bubble near the rim. As well the front passenger tire looked mis-shapen. This time, I called a tow truck. …”
