I was driving home when the car felt funny and started to shake a little. I pulled off the road into a parking lot. I got out and saw that the side of my tire was blown out. My husband came and changed the tire. To our surprise it was not only blown out on the outside but on the inside also. It appeared to us that this tire was defective. We had only had the care a little over a year. We took it back to the dealer which informed us that since we didn't buy they're warranty plan for the tires they couldn't help us. If the people that sold us the tire can't help then who do we go to. Feeling unsafe driving with the other tires that may be just as bad we decided to replace them all. We went to our local tire place and bought 4 new tires.
