We have classified the 2 complaints from 2001 Subaru Impreza about TIRES into the following categories.
Driving along the freeway at 60 mph, the left rear tire had a blowout. upon inspection it was the interior sidewall where the failure occurred. i noticed that in the specific location of the failure, the sidewall was extremely soft; unlike the rest of the sidewall. the tire was taken back to costco; but they refused to accept that it was a defective tire. the tire had 25,000 miles on it; driven conservatively. i do still have the failed tire, and two other tires just like it are still on the car. the tire is a bridgestone potenza 205/55r16 91w, ultra high performance. *nm

First off the roads were wet from a previous rain and there was no standing water. i was turning a left hand corner from 3040 onto service road of i-35e south. while in the turn i hydro planed into the curb. i called for a wrecker and while loading the car i've found that 2 of the 4 tires were put on backwards. the right front tire and the left rear. there is a rotation arrow on them. i called b.f goodrich and they said that the tire being put on backwards could hinder the rain shedding of the tire. have pictures of the tires on backwards and a estimate of the damage.*ak (tiresize: 235/50zr16)( dot number: tire size: 235/50zr16 )
