Description of the problem | In the act of turning into a parking lot, i hit the curb on the front passenger side and heard a loud bang. As i continued, i knew immediately that i had a flat and pulled into a parking spot. There was a side wall blow out very large on that front tire. Had to replace the tire on a car that we have owned new for only 6 months and only had 6,000 miles on. I was going very slow as i turned and when i went back to look at the curb it was rounded and not sharp. Took a photo of it because it shocked me. Aaa came and towed the car to a dealer and after reading some shocking reports about the takahoma tires that we have on our car decided to replace it with another brand. My concern is the safety of the other 3 tires as we continue driving this car. |
