Purchased 4 travelstar un99 205/55r16 91v steel belted radial tires professionally installed. In less than 20 miles of driving, noticed bulge on front driver outer sidewall, driectly above the valve stem. No damage to rim, nothing was run over or hit. Seller of tires was autoplicity refuses to do anything, citing that a bulge on the sidewall usually occurs due to a possible road hazard, improper inflation, excessive load impact, or an installers error and is not covered under the warranty. The seller did not ask for any photos prior to making this decision. We havecontacted amazon. Com, whom was the distributor for autoblicity.

This batch of tires needs to be recalled.

I was making a left turn into my subdivision after a full stop. My speed was no more than 5 mph. The Toyota dealer informed me that the sidewall had blown and was not repairable. They had no definitive cause as to why the tire blew. The tire was retained by the dealer. The tire size is p 195/65r15 and is a toyo nanoenergy a41 tire. It was original equipment on the Toyota Prius as built in japan. I have found that the tire has no manufacturer's warranty. I just returned from a vacation three days ago driving from hilton head island, SC. Had this happened on the interstate system, the results to me, my wife, or other drivers could have been very different. To the best of my knowledge, the tire has not been inspected by any party. I was not given any tire dot information on the new tire.

With virtually no warning the left front tire failed catastrophically with entire outboard portion of the tread separating from the sidewall structure.

I was traveling south on i95 about a mile form exit 89 in CT. I lost the tread of the rear drivers side tire. From the time I noticed the road feeling a little rough to realizing that I had what I thought was a blowout took maybe 10-15 seconds. (once I exited the car I was surprised the entire tire had separated at both sidewalls. ) I felt I was real lucky to have escaped having an accident or injury as when the tire came off I had little control of the car as it headed right toward the guardrail then back left crossing the into the high speed lane before finally coming to a stop.

With only 12k miles on this car the side wall of the goodyear integrity tire bubbled way out. Tire had to be replaced and the dealer would not do it under warranty. They said I must have hit something but I did not.

Bulges have appeared in the sidewalls of two of the four goodyear potenza tires on our 2005 Toyota Prius. I can provide photos. The tires were maintained by having them rotated and pressure checked at 5,000-mile intervals by the Toyota dealer. The car has been driven only on paved streets and roads. Current mileage on the car is 13,000. I have elected to replace all four tires with michelins.

The tires were defective. After taking the vehicle to dealer for service it was discovered that chunks ere missing from the inside of the tires. Manufacturer offered reimbursement.

The side wall blew out at 75 mph on the first 100 + degree day. Bridgestones rep claimed that there was maybe an indication of nail damage; however the tire was too badly damaged to be sure. Next, it had been run flat, however that would have been quickly apparent in the engine noise with the cv trans. They failed to honor their warranty, admitting that doing so would raise a red flag at the NHTSA.

2002 Toyota Prius have had five tires replaced on this car and only have 28,000 miles on it. The tires wear uneven, and the sidewalls break down to cause flat. The tread comes off in chunks. Steel wires showing. Every tire has had a different thing happen to it. I have 3 tires replaced by the dealership in one day. The 1st tire went flat from the sidewall braking down and being weak.
