On two occasions I have had the tires blowout on my vehicle. Once while driving and the other occasion while my vehicle was parked in the garage and had not been moved for three days. My vehicle only has 27,000 miles and hardly any thread wear. The tires are kumho 205/R16
I was going 65mph on highway, when all of sudden, I heard a loud pop anf car started shaking. The hazard light came on and low tire pressure as I was trying to carefully exit hwy. My driver side tire was completely busted. This is the second tire that has blown. Last year it was my front passenger tire. I bought this car new and it only had 12miles on it when purchased. My car curreny had less than 20 000 miles on it...in both events, I did not run over anyything nor observed any potholes or uneven road.
I experienced 2 spontaneous tire blowouts, on 8/25/18 and 10/4/18. I had had the tires rotated and checked on 8/23/18. Nexen has not responded to my numerous attempts to get this resolved.
My daughter was driving on route 55 in NJ and the right rear tire popped and she pulled off the highway into the shoulder. A driver for njdot arrived and told us the tire was dry rotted. We had the car towed to the dealership who told us the tire wasnt defective. I'm not an expert but I feel the tire may be defective. The car only has 20,00 miles and we had the car in a week prior and the tires were written up as having 8/32".nexen tire. Please look at pictures enclosed. Please note we have the defective tire in our possession along with a another tire from the vehicle.
I was driving my car at 60 mph on the freeway when I experienced a spontaneous rear right tire blowout. There were no potholes. I didn't hit anything. The service department at the dealership could find no cause. They said it was a "fluke".

Was going over a set of rr tracks and the drivers side tire blew. Had car towed to Kia dealer that I purchased vehicle from in March of 2017. After inspection I learn from the Kia dealer the wheel/rim had cracks in it, they tell me they believe the car was sold to me this way. I do have wheel and tire warranty package. Kia is flat refusing to fix other damages to the vehicle. Plastic liner in fender well, a TPMS sensor and one other thing I forget what the service department said to me it was. They want me to claim on my insurance I said no your failed wheel with the crack damaged the car you fix it. Kia corporate is flat out refusing to fix the car even though the dealer can prove the car was sold new with a failed wheel/rim on it.
