Description of the problem | I was driving on the highway when all of a sudden my low pressure tire light came on. As i was slowing down, the passenger rear tire suddenly blew and i began fishtailing until i could control the vehicle and come to a complete stop on the side of the road. The vehicle came with hankook optimo tires, and they are only 10 months old with about 22000 miles on them, well under the warranty. Had to get a flatbed tow and purchase a brand new tire from local dealership. |
