MAZDA3 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 32,225 miles
I purchased a Mazda 3 new in April of 2006. Between 20,000 - 30,000 miles I noticed that the tires would probably need to be replaced soon. At 32,225 miles, my left front tire blew. The rubber was still attached to the rim, and the outer tread was still in one piece. The entire sidewall just exploded. These tires are extremely dangerous. I replaced all 4 tires in fear that there would be a new incident and not be as fortunate (injuries or damage with this blow out).
