Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Summary: failure of 3 tires on vehicle. i purchased a second set of tires, yokohama, for my 1995 bonneville after having the original set for some time. soon thereafter, two tires failed. the steel belts had separated on them. the dealership replaced them under warranty. approximately two months or so later, the third tire failed. this failure, unlike the first two, caused substantial damage to my vehicle. the dealership advised i not replace this one under warranty, due to the damage, & that i should contact the manufacturer. upon doing so, including a recount of maintenance on the vehicle,tires, and the previous failures, the manufacturer insisted the failures were my fault. one failure ok, two, somethings not right. three failures from the same set of tires make me think there may be a problem. *nm
