Description of the problem	On december 18, 2018, i had a tire separate. These tires were purchased from long tire company in titusville, florida on june 15, 1916 (see attached documentation of the purchase). The tire was fully covered by warranty at that time, and i only paid to have a new one installed (see attached documentation of my paying long tire company for the the installation on december 12, 2018). This past week, august 15-22, 2019, two more tires separated (see attached documentation). This was observed by schlenker auto (see attached). The tires are hercules tour 4. 0 plus 195/60 r15 (also contains numbers 88h mts) and the batch number on the tires (both are the same) is dot kaad b20h 2815. The batch number on the tire that separated last december was likely the same. The tire that separated last december was replaced by a tire with dot kaad b20h 2915, which seems to indicate a later batch number. I have had three of these tires separate in less than a year, in normal city driving conditions in florida. Something is badly wrong with these tires. Thank you in advance for your kindness and attention to this.
