2001 Subaru Legacy Tires & Wheels Problems

Headed home from a vet appointment in mountain home. Was driving on the freeway at 80mph when the tire blew at the Wendell exit. Checked the tire to find that the inside wall had failed and had a blowout. The tire was installed June 8th 2025 and had less than 1,000 miles on it. I have never in 26 years of being around vehicles had a brand new tire fail in less than 1,000 miles. Tire was a good year reliant all season 195/65/R15. That tire blowout could have killed me and my family. I stopped at the Walmart that I bought the tire from with the receipt and was told "oh that sucks. We can replace it for you if you want to buy a new one a full price." How can a company sell a tire from a brand like good year that isn't even covered for a 1,000 miles? That's absolutely mind blowing. Had anyone gotten injured from the accident I would filling charges against Walmart for selling me a faulty tire

I NOTICED THAT THE OUTER LAYER OF RUBBER HAS BEGUN TO COME OFF ON THE SIDEWALL, SHOWING A WHITE UNDERLAYER, NEAR THE LETTERING BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY AT THE LETTERING.
