Description of the problem | While rotating the tires on my 2009 matrix i noticed the inside sidewall was separating (splitting) around the whole inside of the tire. There are no signs of sidewall damage from a hit or accident, the sidewall is just failing. This is a very dangerous situation and i am glad i caught it before the failure caused an accident from a blowout. |
