News tires where bad within 9 months-bought at costco -one tire had a nail and went flat very fast- -had repaired-one kept getting flat other exploded on freeway and caused damage -both flat and ripped tire happened suddenly. Costco has replaced the tires all 4 -but will not pay damage to car from explosion sudden flat and in shreds . We fell they sold bad tires and these tires are a safety hazard.
Driving on the freeway home heard a strange noise, pulled over to check and thought I had blown a tire somehow. When closely inspecting tire treading the center of the tire completely came off in a perfect circle when driving. Took tire to costco where tires were purchased less than a year a ago (8/24/18) was informed its a manufacturer's defect. Had to pay for a new tire. It was also discovered that passenger back tire had a whole in it which was missed when I took car in for tire inspection.
