2016 Mazda Mazda6 WHEELS

ABOUT 28000 MILES ON MY CAR OVER THE PAST 2 AND A HALF YEARS, WHAT STARTED WITH A PERSISTENT LOW TIRE PRESSURE INDICATION THAT NONE OF THE DEALERSHIPS OR TIRE SHOPS RECOGNIZED AS A MAJOR ISSUE (SIMPLY POINTED OUT THAT AS WEATHER CHANGES THE SENSORS MAY DETECT LOW PRESSURE) HAS TURNED INTO THE TIRES SYSTEMATICALLY BEING WORN AND BLOWN OUT BEFORE THEIR LIFE EXPECTANCY.. RINGS ARE FORMING AROUND THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE TIRE AND CAUSING A LARGE CIRCULAR RIP THROUGH THE TIRE ON THE OUTER WALL. SO FAR MY FRONT DRIVER TIRE WAS BLOWN OUT FROM A SMALL POTHOLE WHICH UNDERSTANDABLY CAUSED THE TIRE WALL TO COMPLETELY RIP AND NEEDED COMPLETE REPLACEMENT. NOT EVEN 2 WEEKS LATER MY REAR DRIVER TIRE GAVE OUT WHILE IN THE PARKING LOT AND STATIONARY, MY PASSENGER SIDE TIRES ARE SHOWING A SIMILAR RING PATTERN (IT IS VERY FAINT AND DIFFICULT TO CAPTURE ON A PICTURE) THAT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE COULD BE A DEFECT IN THE STOCK TIRES INCLUDED WITH MY CAR. PHOTO OF MOST RECENT TIRE BLOWOUT ATTACHED FOR VISUAL OF THE WEAR PATTERN ON THE TIRE. THIS OCCURED AT APPROX 28000 MILES ON THE CAR WITH STOCK TIRES AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON 4/16/2017 AND GOING THROUGH A TOLL BOOTH ON THE PA TURNPIKE THE CAR SUDDENLY PULLED TO ONE SIDE AND THE AIR ALERT WENT OFF. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND FOUND THE FRONT LEFT TIRE WAS FLAT. AS I WAS CHANGING THE TIRED I FOUND THAT THE SIDEWALLS ON THE OUTER AND INNER ASPECT HAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE TREADS. THE TIRE SIDEWALLS COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED AROUND THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE ON BOTH SIDEWALLS. ALMOST LIKE A RETREADED TIRE DOES. THIS IS A COMPLETE TIRE FAILURE AT 9,100 MILES AND DRIVING SLOWLY THROUGH A TOLL BOOTH. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF MY CAR. SEE PHOTOS ATTACHED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE WHEEL CYLINDER BECAME TOTALLY DETACHED FROM THE WHEEL FACE CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK UNCONTROLLABLY AND DIFFICULT TO STEER. IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO SHOULDER FOR SAFETY. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO FACE OF RIM BUT THE WHEEL CYLINDER THAT MOUNTS THE TIRE IS TOTALLY DETACHED FROM THE WHEEL FACE. VEHICLE PURCHASED NEW IN MAY HAS 30000 MILES ON IT.
