Tire Sidewall Problems of Toyota RAV4

Tire split on the inside of the tire wall about 1 inch up. Less than 20,000 miles on them. I do not believe this is normal. 225/60 r18. Car was serviced by Toyota on March 21st.

225/65r17. I purchased 4 new tires on 02/24/23. On 6/27/23, I found my driver's rear tire was completely flat. I had the 'donut' put on and took to the dealers. There was a 'bubble' around the rim and the tire was replaced. The dealer explained it was likely due to hitting a curb or pothole which I took exception to as I had done neither. On 7/31/23, my passenger-side rear tire was almost flat and there was again a bubble near the rim. As well the front passenger tire looked mis-shapen. This time, I called a tow truck. The dealer refused to acknowledged that was a manufacturing issue and not a road hazard. Although many continental tires were recalled, they said this wasn't one of them. They did not contact continental only their service provider for road hazard. Replacing only the passenger rear tire was not a reasonable option. I chose to replace all 4 tires of another brand rather than fool around with what could be an exploding tire on the highway. Needless to say, no more continental tires for me and I will not use that Toyota dealership again either.

Tire size:225 65/17 while driving the side of a brand new tire blew out. We had three passengers in the vehicle that could have been in danger if we were going at a greater speed. We took the new tire in and was told by the auto shop that it could not be repaired. We had to purchase a new one and I have the invoice. I try to resolve this with firestone but according to them, the tire was not under warranty. The new tire only had 5000 miles and it is a tread of at least 60,000 miles.

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Rav4 equipped with yokohama tires, size p225/65/r17. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, one of the tires exploded. The contact was able to safely pull over. After inspecting the vehicle the contact saw that the front passenger side tire sidewall failed. The vehicle was towed to a body shop because there were exterior damages to the front passenger side of the fender, bumper, front passenger side trim and the wiring harness. The vehicle was repaired for the body damage and later towed to an independent mechanic for the tire repair. The vehicle was repaired for all four tires. The failure mileage was approximately 19,985.

My fiance was driving my rav 4 this past Saturday. The car has 4 copper discoverer tires (dot# utdac5t0704) that were purchased in early 2006. They were traveling at about 70 mph on a busy highway. One of the tires completely came apart, leaving only some ragged sidewalls on the wheel. There were (miraculously) no injuries and he was able to get the car under control and off to the side of the road.
