| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Six tires on this car have flattened since its purchase with no evidence of road hazard. they began to rapidly leak air within months of purchase and, once flattened, are not repairable because of sidewall damage. one possibility is that the tire and wheel do not (and never have) worked together such that the seal is not complete and once broken the tire flattens. or the tires are defective and the sidewall weakens and causes loss of air and ultimate deflation.
