While exit parking, hit on curb with low mph. Tire failed at close to rim created a 1/2 inch slit. The initial hit point is more towards the front wheel is not demaged but have black mark next to the tire rupture. Hitting curb seems common among drivers, but I never heard of anyone having something like this. Therefore, I think that this is a quality problem.( dot number: W2hl tire size: P235/R15? )
