It was necessary to replace both…

I purchased new in 2012. It has 25,000 miles and never been abused or in an accident. All four tires firestone fr 710 p215 55r 17 have extensive cracking on sidewall where the tread begins on circumference and the treaded part appears to be separating from the sidewall. Dealer says that is normal and will not offer any price reduction on new tires. Common sense tells me otherwise.

The vehicle was being driven at the speed limit when the tire popped. The impact was as much as a front end collision; the windshield cracked along with the passenger side of the bumper and the wheel was bent. A mechanic said that because the seat belts locked the impact was great enough where the airbags should have gone off, but they did not.

While driving out of parking garage going minimal speed, my right rear passenger wheel dislocated from my vehicle. After getting it to a chevrolet dealership and further inspection, looks like the vehicle was originally assembled with only 2 of the needed 4 bolts attaching the wheel to the hub of the car. This caused strain to the 2 bolts and you can visibly see stress cracks on the hub where there were placed. *tr
