    TODAY I HAD A FLAT TIRE, WHICH IS REALLY NOT A BIG DEAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO A TIRE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN I THEY SHOWED ME THAT 3 OUT OF 4 OF MY TIRES (WITH ONLY 11,000 MILES ON THEM) WERE SEPARATED NEAR THE INSIDE RIM OF THE WHEEL! IF IT WASN'T FOR THE NAIL THAT PUNCTURED MY TIRE AND FLATTENED IT, MY FAMILY AND I WOULD BE DRIVING ON FREEWAYS WHILE THE TIRES WERE JUST WAITING TO EXPLODE! *AK (TIRESIZE: 215/65 15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 215/65 15 )
