| Tire is about 1 year old, on the way to work this morning the tire blew out for no apparent reason. i had not hit a bump nor was i aware of running over any sharp objects. i pulled off the road and the tire has 5 different holes in it-all along the side wall, three holes in the front and two holes in the back. the tire still has plenty of thread on it and had no plugs. with regard to the rear window, the trim is pushed back and the corner end of the window is exposed. as if you are trying to open the window-you can see the top edge of the window. i am not sure of how to resolve-i am afraid to simply put sealant in crack-afraid window may fall into car or out of frame into people behind. window was never hit, appears that seal is worn or window is falling.( dot number: tire size: 9225/60r16 ) | |||
