“Large split in the front right outside sidewall discovered. Upon inspection, gap was very noticable. Check the remaining three tires and no evidence of the same. Tires have approximately 15,000 miles. We decided to replace all four tires to keep the vehicle balanced . New tires installed and was asked to come in to the shop to see the other three tires. All three had splits in the sidewall facing to the inside, which could not have been seen unless each tire was pulled off the vehicle. I asked to retain at least two of the tires in my possession, which I have now. …”
NHTSA complaint #10631235, filed 2014-09, 15,000 miles“I have had two flat tires on my 2010 Volkswagen Jetta tdi in the past 3 weeks (the tires only have 23,000 miles on them).

I wonder how long I have until the other two decide to blowout. …”

I just purchased my fifth set of tires for a car with less than 70,000 miles on it. I've had the alignment checked three times, and it continually shows to be within specs.
