- I was driving down 55 mph. On dark, busy highway in sarasota, florida (fruitville rd. ) at approximately 6:15 a. M. On Friday, January 23, 2025. - suddenly, without warning, the sidewall of the rear passenger side tire completely blew out in a perfect circle around the entire outside of edge. - the tire is currently available for inspection. - the goodyear dealer claims that the blowout was caused due to underinflation. However, the tread pattern of the tire shows no signs of underinflation. - since this is my wife's car, I check the tire pressure every other Sunday evening knowing that she'll be driving it to work the next day. - had there been heavier traffic, the blow out could have caused a major accident if someone was following closely behind me. - the car's tpms sensors weren't illuminated to indicate there was any low tire pressure.
I have the kumho crugen premium kl33 235 60 r18 tires. They came with the kia Sorento. I was driving down the freeway and the car started shaking and I pulled over to see the tire with only 16 thousand miles on them with the sidewall cut through around the whole tire, thread seperation. I took the tire to the dealer where I bought the car and they could not find any bruise or cut that would cause it to blow out. They sent it to kumho for warantee evaluation.
