2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

THE TREADWALLS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIRE AT THE TOP SLITS AND LOSS AIR. THIS IS UNREPAIRABLE. THIS IS THE 2ND OF 4 TIRES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE 1ST WE WERE STANDING OUTSIDE AND THE TRUCK WAS PARKED AND WE HEARD A POP AND THEN HEARD AIR COMING FROM THE TIRE. THIS TIME WE WERE TRAVELING AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SENSED THE LOSS OF AIR AND ALERTED ME AND WE PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE JUST IN TIME TO AVOID AN UNFORESEEN ACCIDENT. I HAD 8 PEOPLE INCLUDING MYSELF IN THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. *TR
