General altimax rt43. I had 4 tires in less than 6 months and 6,000 miles develop side wall bubbles caused by tire play separation and bands breaking. I tire hade been replaced and it developed a bubble in less than a month. No hard driving on the car and no potholes or railroad track impacts. This is a common thread and it is time for the NHTSA to investigate. I have now bought six tires in six months to replace the damaged tires. I am still waiting to here if general will replace one under warranty and have another in the trunk of my car that needs to be replaced while I drive around on the spare tire. This should not happen under normal use. Prior to this I have driven approximately 1million miles and have never had to replace a tire due to side wall bubbles.
Due to failure of this part I have had numerous wheel lock-ups and emergency braking. See "brickboard. Com" under "850" for many reports of failures. Mr.
