Woke up [XXX] to a flat tire. Filled the tire and heard a hiss. We took the vehicle to NTB in Wellsburg, WV where we bought the tires. After inspection we were told two tires had "bubbles" and needed to be replaced (picture of front passenger side attached). We have ordered new Goodyears that will be here in 2 days. Side Note: we had to buy groceries, so we drove the car slowly yo Walmart in Steubenville, OH where the front tire failed. AAA (DCP Automotive) came and changed the tire/doughnut.

P185/55R16 Tire wall coming off of the tire. Bubble created.
PERTAINING TO THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IF A TPMS SENSOR IS REMOVED FROM THE CAR, THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO ALERT THE DRIVER VIA A WARNING LIGHT. MY 2016 HONDA FIT HAD ALL FOUR TIRES AND RIMS REPLACED THAT DIDN'T HAVE TPMS SENSORS INSTALLED AND NO INDICATOR HAS ILLUMINATED IN THE VEHICLE. (IT'S BEEN ALMOST TWO MONTHS SINCE THE SENSORS WERE REMOVED)
AFTER TWO FLATS THAT ESSENTIALLY DESTROYED THE TIRES. UNABLE TO REPLACE TIRES ON CAR THAT WE BROUGHT NEW BECAUSE THEY ARE ON LONGER MADE BY FIRESTONE. ABNORMAL WEAR NOTED ON TIRES AFTER ONLY 24,000 MILES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA FIT EQUIPPED WITH FOUR FIRESTONE FR SERIES 740 TIRES, SIZE: 185/R6011584T (NA). WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL FLOPPING NOISE AND THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT. THE TIRE INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,400.
THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY, ABOUT EVERY 500 MILES OR SO. I'VE HAD THE PRESSURE CHECKED BY PROFESSIONALS IN EACH TIRE AND ON ONE OCCASION IT WAS 1 UNIT LESS THAN IT HAD BEEN BEFORE, BUT NOT BELOW THE LEVEL THAT IT SHOULD HAVE COME ON FOR. AFTER REFILLING, THE PROBLEM SOON REPEATS IN A SIMILAR DURATION.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER CHECKED THE AIR PRESSURE, CHANGED, AND ROTATED THE TIRES, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,059.
