3 miles from home the front tire on our Mazda3 came apart in 3 full pieces, two side walls and the center, causing $1800 in damage. I returned the tire to yokohama tire Corp. Because of the damage, they said it was not the tires fault, they called it a run flat and that they would not pay for the damages. So while the car was at the body shop I had four new tires installed, not yokohama tires. Also the adjuster for my insurance company, said that he never seen a tire separate like that.
