First incident, traveling MD 4 when tire indicator came on dash board (may 2014) back passenger tire had huge bulge at rim of hubcap with hissing sound due to escaping air (4 31816 215/60r16 yoko avid touring -s dot ccf1 f2712 purchased August 2013). Tire replaced at no cost to me due to no evident of damage inside the tire, thus a "defect" according to service tech. December 24, 2014 traveling on interstate 97 s; front passenger tire blew out without warning; abs system slowed car down was able to move from second lanes to right shoulder without incident. Tire has about a 3-inch rip from rim up. With both tires, I was asked what did I hit and both times the answer was nothing. This is the second of four tires to go bad in a little over one year. I now feel the other two tires are ticking time bombs and my family and I may not be so fortunate the next time this happens.
