Hello, on friday, february 19th, i experienced a catastrophic failure of a yokohama iceguardig20 tire. the entire inside side wall of the tire completely failed. please see attached document named "yoko tire failure - 2016feb26.pdf" for details of the event a photos. the other attached documents contain information on the cost to replace the failed tire. i submitted correspondence to yokohama on february 26th, 2016. they have not responded in 60 days so i am submitted to the nhtsa to lodge a complaint. the yokohama website clearly indicates there is a five year warranty. however, they did not respond to date. i am quite disappointed with their lack of response. any assistance with this issue would be appreciated. i never experienced anything like this before in nearly thirty years of my driving experience. my engineering background strongly makes me believe there is an issue with these tires. sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
