I was driving in the city doing about 30 when I felt my car pulling away from me and I could barley control it so I pulled over to check it out n there were 2 chunks missing out fot the outer side of the tire from it blowing out and the inner side of the tire looked like someone took a can opener to it. Needless to say the 4 original tires my car came with did the same thing those tires were replace and my tires can only be replaced by good year model p185/60r15 no other tire fits I had 4 tires replaced in mayof 2000 then I replaced another 3 because of the same problem in feb2001 all at my own expense and it is now july and a nother tire blew im sick of it.
