Description of the problem | Was driving in the right hand side lane just went through a intersection. Less then a minute later the tire burst and my steering wheel was forced to the right and i hit the curb, bending and denting my wheel. I didn't hit anything or go over anything. Got out of the car and the tire was completely flat. Had to call a mechanic friend to come and help take the wheel and tire off and put my spare wheel and tire on. When the tire came off there was no nails or sign of impact on the tire. On the inner side of the tire that faces the motor there is a 3-5 inch skinny jagged crack straight line on the side wall part. I always keep plenty of air in my tires there was no tire pressure warnings on the car before i left. I have a screen shot of my tire pressure an hour before this incident occurred. This happened to my front passenger side tire. The tire is defective but the dealership i have bumper to bumper warranty with won't do anything. They state i must have had let the tire pressure get low or i must of hit something. I have proof my pressure was fine and i didn't hit anything. The crack is on the inner part of the wall if i would hit something it would been on the tread part or on the outer wall. |
