| Description of the problem | While driving in the interstate my rear driver's tire went flat. I bought my nissan altima brand new approximately 3 months ago and there are only approximately 2400 miles on the tires. Upon inspection, it was found that the cause of the flat was splitting sidewalls. Additionally, the front passenger's tire is also starting to show signs of splitting sidewalls. |
