2007 LEXUS RX HYBRID Complaints

I BOUGHT TWO BRAND NEW TIRES FOR MY 2007 LEXUS 400H, AND BOTH BLEW OUT WITHIN A MONTH OF EACH OTHER, AFTER DRIVING LESS THAN 2000K ON THEM. THIS HAS TO BE A DEFECT WITH THE TIRE. I HAVE NEVER HAD TIRES BLOW OUT LIKE THIS. THE TOP LAYER PEELS OFF FROM THE UNDER LAYERS. I CALLED THE COMPANY I PURCHASED THEM FROM TO LET THEM KNOW THERE IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE WITH THESE TIRES AND THEY DID NOT CARE TO LISTEN. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 9/05/2011 AND THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED 10/15/2011. *TR
