At first, I thought we had a pebble in our tread as we motored on a secondary, paved road. Upon turning on highway 11 the sound heightened, so we pulled to side of road to find a flat on the right rear. After changing tire I several times closely observed the flat tire finding no holes or cuts. The Toyota dealer found a slash, allegedly, and placed 3 plugs. I am reporting this incident in the event it fits into a larger pattern of failures with this tire model. Mahalo and thanks. (tiresize: p175/65r14)( dot number: tire size: p175/65r14 ).
