Had a drivers side front blow out today. Just going down the road with nothing around, and the front tire pops! My low pressure warning light came on right away (!).

What really sucks is that Good Year will NOT replace the tire under warranty. They are claiming that I must have run over sharp ice or something else. There was NOTHING on the road! ACK! There is no cut in the tire, just shows where it blew out, but nothing punctured it. So I don't get Good Year.

What also sucks is that the outer part of my rim is now dinged because I went about 100 feet before I could pull over, which isn't that far, but it still scratched the outside part of my wheel.

damn, that sucks! I must save I've never heard of "sharp ice". How many miles did you have on them?

 

[NinjaRob]

12,500 miles.

I had a tire blow out on my 1st gen last spring and i didn't even notice it until the rubber started burning, by then the tire was shot to hell. I a glad they put the low tire pressure warning light on the 2cnd gen. The roads here in the northeast get riddled with potholes every spring and you just turn up the music and go fast.
