[net.auto] Yokohama tires

vuser@druhi.UUCP (GerardenC) (07/23/85)

I just bought a new set of yokohama tires for a sports car.
while cornering hard the tire dipped into a pothole and split
from the bead to the tread. The split was only on the surface,
as the tire still will hold air. It almost looks as if the outer
1/16 inch skin of the tire is peeling away. Has any one had this
experience? Yokohama say's they don't cover road hazards , but i feel
this is a manufacturing problem. the tires give very good performance,
but if they fall apart so easy why bother. has anyone got good ideas
on how to get them (Yokohama) to replace the tire.
