On august 12, 2019 I purchased 4 ohtsu fp7000 205/6016 tires from eastern state tire & automotive center in west nyack ny 10994. I drove my car about 104 miles on the new tires, and on august 15, 2019, while driving on the nys thruway, 3 of the tires went flat. As per instructions from eastern state tire, I had my car towed to prestige tire & auto service center in kingston ny 12401. And there, prestige advised me that on all 4 tires the valve stems were leaking. Thus, as 2 of the tires were damaged beyond repair, they replaced them, and replaced the valve stems on the 2 remaining tires that they salvaged. I do not know if the fault of these tire failures is in the manufacturers design/production or that of eastern tire of west nyack. I leave that determination up to you. I have the original tires for your inspection. I fear that if it is a defect in the tires, others may now be at risk. Please advise?

Driving south on I 81 at approximately mm 167.3. Heard a very loud noise, thought I might have had a blow out. There was a burning smell so I thought my car was on fire and I pulled off on the left hand side of the interstate. No flat, nothing burning, no damage to car. Got back in my car and realized passenger side airbags from front to back had deployed, that is what I was smelling but at the time I did not realize my airbags had deployed. I was alone but there is a child car seat in my backseat and if one of my grandchildren had been in the car seat or a passenger in the front seat they could have been badly injured. My car is currently at the honda dealership and they have provided me a loaner vehicle at no cost to me. They did call this morning to verify that I had not ran over anything or hit anything. There is not damage to my vehicle. The honda dealership told me they would give me a call once they figured this all out. I am now waiting to see what the outcome will be.

Honda's failure to disclose that a spare tire is not standard equipment on its 2005 accord hybrid put my and my family's lives in danger. We first learned of the situation when my husband had a flat tire. Honda then told us that a retro-fit was available. Before parts arrived, I experienced a blow out on an out-of-state high speed thoroughfare at night. Two police cars and a tow truck were required to transport us to the safety of a motel. Another 6 weeks passed before honda had the parts to retro-fit the vehicle at my expense. Honda assumes no liability for this situation.
