Problems with 2010 Scion tC TIRES

Driving surface was paved dry two lane route. speed approximately 40 miles per hour. left rear tire catastrophically failed. the steel belled tread became totally (100%) detached for the interior side wall of tire. tire was bridgestone turanza (t0506) el4pnz 215/45zr17. this is the second tire in less than a month that has had a side wall failure. i had already replaced a tire earlier in the summer of 2013 for side wall failure. three out of four tires have had similar failures in less than a year. *tr

Tl* the contact leased a 2010 toyota scion tc with yokohama s32a93201(na) tires, size 215/ 45 r17. the contact stated that the tires would continuously lose air. the contact would have to add air to the tire weekly. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer for service and was told that the sidewalls of the two passenger side tires were cracked. the mechanic tried to seal the tires but the tires blew as the contact drove home. the failure and the current mileages were 11,000. updated 9/4/13 *cn the tires were replaced/repaired.

Traveling at posted speed on curved road in rain. applied brakes coming into the turn, but tires lost traction and vehicle spun around and slid onto a dirt embankment with shrubs and small trees. neither the front or side air bags deployed and i hit my head against the driver's side window. i do not believe the tires that are provided are suitable for wet pavement. *tr
