The tire is tubeless. Traveling at an estimated 50 MPH the tire side wall separated from the tread. If I lost a front tire I would have had an accident. *ak (dot number: 8m15794-7 tiresize: p22560r16)

Sidewall deterioration and failure. On sidewall, 1 cm. Below the corner/beginning of tread, rubber deteriorated esposing white material underneath for the entire circumference of tire. No blowout experienced, just slow leak resulting in flat. Vehicle location at time of failure: nh route 16 south, 0.5 miles before exit 9. Very hot day - temperatures in the mid 90's. Failed tire left at tri-city subaru (nh) service desk on 6/16 - contact service manager (paul) at (603) 742-3647 (mon-fri 8am-5pm). Due to local unavailability of firestone wilderness at replacement tire (on 6/16), my vehicle now has a goodyear spirit tire on front/left. I am aware that having different design tires on my vehicle is unsafe, but I had no choice. It would have been more unsafe to continue driving on the donut spare. Requesting of tri-city to replace failed tire, and reinburse my costs associated with the goodyear spirit tire. *ak (tiresize: p225/60r16)( dot number: tire size: p225/60r16 )
