On the evening of 21 jun 04 i was driving home from work. as i made a right hand turn in to my driveway. i felt and then heard what seemed to to a flat tire on the right (passenager) side of the car. i had filled up with gas on either the previous friday or saturday. when i fill up with gas i check my oil and tire pressure. all was ok. when i got into my garage, i went around to the right side of the car and clearly saw a flat right rear tire. i called aaa to put on a spare. the aaa repair man thought the tire looked defective. the next morning i went to ntw and replaced the flat tire and a second tire with new michelin tires. the manager at the ntw in rockville indicated that this was the second tire he had seen that week with the same defect. because i only had 19,600 miles on the tires, he gave me a discount on each tire. he also agreed that the flat tire looked defective. they checked my remaining two tires for any weakness. *ak
