Tire Problems of Toyota Scion Tc

On my 2006 Scion Tc I currently equipped with bridgestone turanza el 400 tire size: 215/45zr17. The problem that I've encountered is the tread is separating from the side walls on both front tires and I can feel that the rear tires are starting to do the same. Fortunately for me I spotted this defect before an incident occurred. Currently the cords are exposed on top of the tires. They almost feel like the tires where recapped and are now separating. I just noticed it today 28 Nov 2008 and I'll have to replace the tires tomorrow. I only have approx. 25,000 miles on these specific tires and they are rated for 80,000 miles. This is a potential safety/recall issue that needs to be addressed immediately especially if occurring to others. Please inform if a recall is present for these tires. Thank you!!!.

As I was changing lanes, I veered a little far onto the left shoulder and hit the rumble strips on the shoulder of the road. I turned a slight right to get the vehicle back into the left lane and my tires "broke loose". The tire separated from the rim, and I slid into a horizontal position, across both lanes, on the rim. I then tried to steer the vehicle back into the left lane, however my car turned a 180 and went into a forward horizontal motion. I then hit a bump or something in the road and my car flipped and went airborne. My car made a complete turn in the air, smashed on its side and then landed on its wheels, on the median. It then bounced and smashed into the metal poles of the median. My car was totaled and miraculously I have very few minor injuries. I am concerned that the tires on the Scion Tc are so low-profile. I am confused how this could happen on a brand new car. On a 2008 vehicle, I should be able to go over rumble strips and easily maneuver my way back into my lane. The tires should not break loose on a brand new car. I purchased the car 3 weeks ago and had roughly 770 miles on it.

The vehicle was deemed a lemon because of rattling sounds coming from the hatchback for which 3 unsuccessful attempts were made to repair. Other failures included: the transmission wouldn't engage when you put the car in reverse gear, the rear bumper was cracked, and the tires screeched.

I have bridgestone potenza p215/45zr17 tires on my car. . The tires don't have even 10000 miles and I already had to get 3 new tires and 2 to be fixed. . . Cause of two are unknowed . . . I think it was a pot hole in the road. . . Rest are nails in tires. . . I'm driving on normal us city roads. No dirt roads, no beach driving, no snow driving. And the nails find home in my tires. I understand sometimes nail get in your tire, but most of the time you drove somewhere that you suppose to not be driving(constructions and stuff like this) but my tires are poped by normal small to medium size nails on normal straight roads. . . In my option the tires are made out of cheap rubber which is not strong enough to withsand the nail or other small sharp objects.
