Description of the problem	My wife was driving. Shortly after getting on the interstate, her rear driver side tire blew out (the whole rim was detached). She did not hit anything and she was not speeding. Investigating the parking lot that she pulled out of, there were black marks. We live right off the interstate. The dealer identified a second tire with a flaw in the wall of the tire. 2 tires had to be replaced. This was a brand new vehicle with ~20,000 miles on it (mostly interstate driving). We found similar issues with this brand of tire though google searches and believe the tire should be recalled before someone dies. The company was unwilling to work with us on the issue. I would like to share the photo of the blow out with you. We brought the vehicle to the dealer that evening. We asked the next morning if they would save the tire, but discarded them already. The manufacturer of the tire refuses to work with us because they felt since we did not have the physical tire or "evidence" it was not their problem.
