Douglas tire I got to replace the one that had a bolt molded in the sidewall. This one had a large flat spot on half of the contact patch. It was easy to see with by eye and would not even sit correctly. I never mounted it cause it was clearly defective. Tire label was placed directly over the defective area leading me to believe someone was covering their dangerous mess. Poorly put together and poor quality control. I took it back.
I am not sure that this a complaint, rather than an information regarding a problem that I have encountered with goodyear tires. Rear tires are fine; however, two front tires are split at the seam on the sidewall. I have digital photos that I will provide. I am replacing the tires this weekend.

While traveling down the new jersey turnpike, my rear nitto 450 tire had a tread separation failure which caused my 1999 Mazda Miata to lose control, spinning out from the left lane across three lanes of traffic during rush hour, finally hitting the embankment on the far right side. The nitto tire was examined and determined to have failed based on tread separation. The traumatic indicident caused significant harm to the myself.
