What owners wrote
In mid january I was driving my vehicle , 2002 33xi BMW, when I had a blow out of my front left tire. The tires are nokian wr size 205/50r17. I thought I must have hit a pothole or something else to cause the blow out. Yesterday, march 11, 2005 I noticed a bluge on my front right tire ( same make). I called jack williams for a replacement tire and will have the tire replaced at my cost. My concern is that the tires may be defective. I had all four tires replaced on 12/01/04 and have less then 10,000 miles on them.
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 ford taurus. The manufacturer of the tires is big o aspen and the tire size is p215/60r16. The contact stated that the tread on the driver-side front tire separated. She had the tire replaced according to recall# 06t027000 (tires: tread/belt, tire line / tire). After the repair the three remaining tires failed identically. The blow outs increased her risk for vehicle crash. The tire facility denied responsibility for the failures, so she had to bear the expense to replace them.
