Tire size 235-40-18 - original equipment low profile wheel tire size exhibits numerous blow outs in road hazards such as pot holes and causes extremely dangerous driving conditions. I have blown 6 tires in 2 years costing over $3000. 00 plus in repairs not to mention the dangerous traffic safety conditions created by a blown tire at highway speed. It is a miracle I was not killed . I believe low profile tires in general are dangerous and should be outlawed below (245 profile at least). I request that the problem be investigated and data collected, analysed and corrective action taken as - I see this is a very common safety complaint. With litterally thousands of blog stories of harrowing blow out events similar to mine on the internet. Thank you.
