Tire Bead problem #1

Right front tire blew out unexpectedly while driving. Had not yet anything. Tire was split radially from bead to bead. The noise was so loud that I originally thought it was the suspension failing. Tire was a sigma tempest by cooper size: p185/65r14. Your database does not include this product / size combination. I put a placeholder in that was closest.

Tire problem #2

Vehicle skid while making turns. After 21,000 miles, tires have shown excessive wearing. Tires were replaced.

Tire Blowout problem #3

Car shifted while traveling 50 mph due to both flat tires on left side of the vehicle, pulled car on the right side of the road and called aaa. Two tires blew out at the same time.
