I have matrix multi-mile tires on my car the numbers on the tire are 95s p205/70r15mts. My car had been sitting for approx. 8 hours and the right front tire exploded making a bit hole in my right front fender. The damages were almost 800.00 and I feel that the other ones may do the same. The tires were already on the car when I had bought it and they have a lot of tread on them. There is no explanation of this occurrence and I feel that the tire company should pay for the damages to my car and also replace my tires.
