YOKOHAMA TIRES Complaints

225 /60 R 17 99H Was driving on a freeway when heard a pop, pulled over immediately on left shoulder and tire had holes in sidewall putting me in a very dangerous situation. Yokohama consumer affairs could care less about the situation, I hope people dont hurt driving with these tires.

Yokohama Avid (front x2) 4UT76EX1623 and (rear x2) 4UT7EX1723 225/40R18 while the Passenger Front (4UT76EX1623) tire completely blew out the sidewall after third party inspection all 4 tires on my New 2024 Subaru Impreza are failing per the tire technician "after inspection it appears that all four tires show significant premature tire wear on the vehicle". Alignment preformed April 10, 2025 by DCH Subaru of Riverside and again alignment and suspension were checked the day after blowout of tire on July 28,2025 by American Tire Depot " no issue found with the vehicles suspension and alignment is within specs at this time". I was driving on a mountain road approximately 25 MPH when blowout occurred. Significant POP sound heard and vehicle TPS system immediately alerted us that the tire pressure dropped to 0. Tires had been maintaining tire pressure well before the incident. The "significant premature tire wear" is indicated by a noticeable crack that appears around the sidewall of all four tires as well as the steel cord showing significantly along the inner wall of the tire that blew out. This was only visible after removing the flat tire to apply the spare.

Front driver side tire sidewall bubbled at 7900 miles on a 2024 Subaru Impreza on June 22nd. They are the original equipment tires: Yokohama Advan S34P P225/40R18 88V. A sidewall bubble is a sign of a structural failure and indicates the tire will eventually blow out. This can lead to loss of control as well as sending debris towards other road users. No warnings or tire pressure changes occurred. There was no impact, only normal highway driving prior to the damage. The damage was not present prior to 300 mile road trip, but was present upon arrival at our destination. The problem was immediately reported to Capitaland Subaru who the vehicle is leased from. Initially they refused to let me bring it in. Eventually they did get me an appointment for June 30th, and they allegedly inspected the tire at that time. They told me to keep driving on it until the warranty replacement was approved. A warranty case was never opened by the dealer. 17 days later, I received a call from the dealer saying I must open the case with Yokohama myself. The vehicle comes with a sealed kit of owner's documents and booklets including tire warranty information, but it contains Goodyear and Bridgestone warranty info and not Yokohama, which is the OEM tire on Subaru Imprezas. I had no info on my warranty nor a guide on how to submit such a claim. After searching online, I did so and gave the case number to the dealer, but I have not gotten any notification since. It has been well over a month and I've logged over 1300 miles on the damaged tire. The car now has significant vibration coming through the steering wheel as of 7/30/25. Dealer was supposed to provide a loaner but did not. The manager has made no attempt to address the issue. A complaint has been filed with Subaru corporate as well.

The van was going about 10 mph and the side wall just burst and went to flat right away and tire pressure warning came on. Yokohama had a recall for this same issue in 2022 but this DOT was not included. Nothing came in contact with tire or van when the issue occurred. This would have been a major issue if going full speed. Discount tire in Southaven MS stated the tire just gave out with no indication of anything hitting the tire. Yokohama refused to do anything as this is a BraunAbility handicap van which shows them as owner 1 to do the conversion through Chrysler. These Vans cannot be purchased through Chrysler directly. Yokohama did now even offer to report this issue internally as a complaint on the tire. I kept the tire for further inspection and investigation. I also have pictures and video of the tire prior to replacement. Tire Yokohama AVID S34 (S34RV) 236/65R17 104T. The P style is not indicated on the tire. I have 3 other tires remaining on the van with same tire/DOT (DOT 4UL8-PKX3321

My girlfriend's father was driving at normal driving speed on the highway when the tire blew out for no reason. There are multiple blown out sections of the tire on both the internal and external sides of the tire that would appear to be a structural failure. This was definitely not a puncture due to the failures completely around the entire circumference on both sides of the tire. The tire was inflated as per spec. This caused vehicle instability and was a dangerous situation so he had to quickly pull to the side of the highway. The tire is available for inspection. I have not yet taken the car or tire to the shop for inspection. There were no warning lamps or other symptoms prior to the blowout. The tire size is: 235 / 55 R 19 101V

Driving between 40-50mph on streets, my tire burst and the rubber part completely shredded off. I just had my tires checked a couple weeks ago where they said everything was great. This tire completely disintegrated out of nowhere and nearly damaged my rim! The tire guy said there's no way this happened from a nail or road injury to the tire
