Description of the problem	I have replaced four tires on this vehicle due to sidewall-related damage. In the first incident (the one detailed in the metadata above), the tire blew out completely, causing the vehicle to lose control. In the other three incidents, sidewall bubbles developed requiring the tire to be replaced. Forums on the internet are listing over 100 customers with this same issue; it seems to be an engineering defect relating to the size of the tire (and its low-profile nature) and the stiffness of the front suspension. I drive the same roads in two other vehicles (so hitting the same potholes and bumps), and have driven over 750,000 miles without a single blowout or impact-related damage; on this vehicle, i have had four destroyed tires in seven months and 7,200 miles of vehicle ownership. *js
