| We bought brand new sigma tempest tires just a week or two ago. on our first trip out of town, one of the sidewalls of the tires simply disintegrated...no road hazard, nothing...the tire just fell apart. fortunately, it was a rear tire and there was no accident. now, i am afraid of that these tires are totally unsafe, and wish the manufacturer would refund our money, so we could get a better brand. we bought them at ok tire, fargo, nd. *nlm | |||
