What owners wrote
Tire had a sidewall seperation on the highway resulting in accident; this has happened now twice, on the stock tires, first time I thought it was just bad luck, however two times seems to be fishy. The tires have plenty of tread left. I am interested to find out if this has happened to other people.( DOT number: mkhcfjdr19 tire size: 195/60r14 )
I was driving in a parking lot when I heard a crash and my car stopped moving. The front right tire had fallen off.
