I have had 2 tires withsidewall blowouts of the kuhmo solus kh 25/ 205/55/r16 tires that came on my (new from the dealership) 2014dodge dart. The first at unknown miles. Was as I was accelerating from a stop sign. The second at 30,286 miles. The second blowout was after the car was parked for a significant amount of time, sounded like a shotgun blast and blew a hole in the skirting on my house. Other tires from the solus kh25 series have been recalled with the same sidewall problem.

While driving on a local street (under 30 miles an hour), I lost control of my vehicle and the tire exploded. I tried to regain control and the car jumped the curb. My daughters and I was shaken up really bad. Had I been on the high way it would have been a completely different story. I have the dealership investigating it now.

The front right tire developed a large bubble in the sidewall with no indication of impact damage. Was replaced out of pocket after two chrysler dealerships said chrysler would not cover the tire no matter what. I still have the defective tire and the dot numbers if requested. It was a kumho solus 225/55/17.

Hit a very small rock, approximately the size of two golf balls, going about 43 MPH. My kumho solus kh25 tire of my 2014 dodge dart blew out upon impact with this very small rock. Caused a blowout on the sidewall of the tire. I feel like that was not enough to cause a blowout. I feel unsafe on the roads with these tires that dodge has put on the vehicle. I only have 1400'miles on the car. Obviously I will have to replace my tire and I feel like these tires aren't very safe.
