After an Interstate highway drive and when then discovering my tire had been punctured by a screw or other object, but with still enough air in the tire to drive to a tire repair facility, I drove to have the puncture repaired. On repairing the puncture of the 185/65R15 tire, the repairman observed a portion of the tire-??s steel belt to be visible on the inside of the tire. An immediate replacement of the tire was recommended, but this facility did not have an identical tire to provide. The facility emailed me a picture of the protruding steel belt. This writer has twice reported the matter to the tire-??s manufacturer, but still no response since the first report on 09/24/2024. No party other than the tire repair facility has inspected the tire. This writer has recognized no noticeable effect of the defect, but the repair facility stated it could cause a blowout at any time.
Purchased 4 travelstar UN99 205/55R16 91V steel belted radial tires professionally installed. In less than 20 miles of driving, noticed bulge on front driver outer sidewall, driectly above the valve stem. No damage to rim, nothing was run over or hit. Seller of tires was autoplicity refuses to do anything, citing that a bulge on the sidewall usually occurs due to a possible road hazard, improper inflation, excessive load impact, or an installers error and is not covered under the warranty. The seller did not ask for any photos prior to making this decision. We havecontacted amazon.com, whom was the distributor for autoblicity. Should this tire fail, there would be a loss of control due to its location of the front drivers side. This would put both the driver and other persons in the area at risk. This batch of tires needs to be recalled.
