| Car was wobbling and pulling to the right. i took it to the chrysler dealer and they told me all four tires were separating. the tires were one year old and purchased at sears roebuck in citrus heights,ca. i took the car back and sears replaced the tires. i paid $134. more for an upgrade and got michelin weatherwise steel belted radials. i thought this should be reported incase there were other yokohama tires having trouble. thank you, lillian oneal. *ak( dot number: tire size: p20570t15y ) | |||

| I've had two of these tires fail due to separation. (in both cases, i purchased the same tire as a replacement for the failed tire.) is there a history of problems with this tire? has there been a recall? should i expect the manufacturer or the dealer to replace all four of these tires with a different brand or model?*ak( dot number: tire size: p206/70r14 ) | |||
