    I was driving from NY City to Boston, MA when suddenly I hear a big noise thankful to God I didn't lose control on my vehicle, I parked and notice the driver's side tire was completely deflated. I wait for several hours for help. Also one of the rear tires has big bulge on it. I check for any recalls on these tires, but there is none for this size. What can I do? The tires have only 2000-3000 miles on the car. I call Cooper customer service recalls and they were rude and did't help at all. This is a safety issue and I would like my tires to be replaced ASAP. Thank yo
