PURCHASED 4 NEW NEXEN N5000 (225/45R17) TIRES AND HAD THEM INSTALLED ON 10/21/13. APPROX. 2K MILES ON THE TIRES, AND WE NOTICED A BUBBLE ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WHERE THE TREAD AND SIDEWALL MEET. NO SIGNS OF SCRATCHES ON THE SIDEWALL, AND WE ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY IMPACT WITH POTHOLES OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED IT.
THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 KIA FORTE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 74 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER'S TIRE SPONTANEOUSLY BLEW. THE CONTACT ALERTED BOTH THE MANUFACTURE AND DEALER ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE TREAD SEPARATED AND CAUSED THE TIRE TO FAIL. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED HOWEVER SHORTLY AFTER THE FIRST TIRE FAILURE THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE TIRE SPONTANEOUSLY BLEW. THE CONTACT AGAIN ALERTED THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER ABOUT THE FAILURE HOWEVER, DECLINED TO HELP THE CONTACT WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE OF THE TIRE AND VEHICLE WAS 34,900.
