Description of the problem | About 28000 miles on my car over the past 2 and a half years, what started with a persistent low tire pressure indication that none of the dealerships or tire shops recognized as a major issue (simply pointed out that as weather changes the sensors may detect low pressure) has turned into the tires systematically being worn and blown out before their life expectancy.. Rings are forming around the entire circumference of the tire and causing a large circular rip through the tire on the outer wall. So far my front driver tire was blown out from a small pothole which understandably caused the tire wall to completely rip and needed complete replacement. Not even 2 weeks later my rear driver tire gave out while in the parking lot and stationary, my passenger side tires are showing a similar ring pattern (it is very faint and difficult to capture on a picture) that leads me to believe there could be a defect in the stock tires included with my car. Photo of most recent tire blowout attached for visual of the wear pattern on the tire. This occured at approx 28000 miles on the car with stock tires and regular maintenance |
