The tires are coming apart in different areas of the threads. I have owned several vehicles and never had this kind of a problem with tires before. Are they on the recall list? the first flat tire was the left rear, I'm not sure if the tire # is the same as the one I listed for the most recent flat on the right front. I cannot afford to keep buying tires. Please advise. Thank you. (tiresize: P215/60R15)
