THE FIRST TIRE STARTED LOSING BIG CHUNKS OF THREAD WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 75MPH. THERE WAS VERY LITTLE DAMAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF MY VEHICLE AT THAT TIME, AND THAT'S WHY I DECIDED NOT TO FILE A CLAIM WHEN I HAD THE TIRE REPLACED. THE SECOND TIRE STARTED MAKING STRANGE NOISES WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AT 40 MPH. I WENT BACK TO DISCOUNT TIRE WHERE I HAD BOUGHT THE FOUR TIRES TO HAVE IT INSPECTED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE THREAD WAS SEPARATING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED AT THAT MOMENT. THE THIRD TIRE BLEW UP WHILE DRIVING ON THE SAME FREEWAY AT 75 MPH. MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, AVOIDING AN MAJOR ACCIDENT. THERE WAS A $2,600 DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. WHILE I WAS HAVING THAT TIRE REPLACED I ASKED THE DISCOUNT TIRE MANAGER TO INSPECT THE FOURTH AND LAST DESERT DOG TIRE I HAD LEFT ON MY VEHICLE. HE CONCLUDED THAT THE TIRE WAS SEPARATING FROM THE INSIDE OUT TOO, AND REPLACED IT. DT
