Description of the problem | As i was driving approximately 65mph/hour i hear a slight popping noise come from the from passenger tire and then followed the tires pressure dash light illuminated. I pulled off the road at my first opportunity. My ture had gone completely flat with out hitting any bumps or pot holes. I put the spare on and returned home. My boyfriend inspected the tire using soapy water and realized the air was escaping from the rim wall (str p245/40 r20) and not the tire itself. Upon further inspection we realized many stress factures on the rim on all four tires not just the one that lost all the air originally. I replaced my tires pirelli all season plus and scorpion verde tires with my stock tires. I researched the tires for a recall and noticed a recall on other tires that were the same make and model just different sizes had the same issue, a failed rim wall causing it to break off causing accidents, that my aftermarket tires were having. My tires are experiencing the same issue as the recalled pirellis so therefore i have not been using my tires for fear the other 3 tires will also worsen and cause an accident. Str p245/75 r 20 and str p245/40/ r20 all season plus and scorpion verde models also the seat belt light never turns off even when the seat belts are properly engaged which causes a beeping while driving. |
