Description of the problem | I bought a used 2009 toyota camry that the dealer had installed new general altimax hp tires on, size p215/60r16. After about 45 miles of driving the tpms light came on and i found the front driver side tire down to 18psi. While putting air in the tire i noticed a large bubble in the sidewall. I put the spare on and returned to the dealer who replaced the tire at no cost to me, saying it was defective. Today, i went to have my tires rotated and the tech told me he could not touch the passenger front tire as it had a huge bubble in the sidewall. This tire has a total of about 14,000 miles on it. The bubble is about one third of the entire circumference of the tire. Upon closer inspection also found a smaller sidewall bubble forming on driver side rear tire. These tires must all have defects. I will have to replace all tires as it is unsafe to drive with tires that could blowout at any moment. |
