THE EXACT TIRES/CAR I HAVE WERE NOT LISTED. THEY ARE: 2017 TOYOTA YARIS IA TOYO PROXES A27 TIRES TODAY I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON SURFACE STREETS. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND A WARNING CAME ON THAT SAID I HAD LOW TIRE PRESSURE. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT THE NEXT BLOCK TO CHECK MY TIRE PRESSURE AND DISCOVERED MY TIRE WAS COMPLETELY SHREDDED. I HAD ONLY DRIVEN 2 MILES FROM WHERE I HAD STARTED AND MY TIRES WERE FINE WHEN I LEFT. THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED TWICE. ONCE ON AUGUST 1ST, 2018 AS I PARKED ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET (THE LOW PRESSURE LIGHT DIDN'T EVEN COME ON AT THIS TIME) AND THE SECOND TIME TODAY, OCTOBER 3RD, 2018. BOTH TIMES I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRE BECAUSE IT IS COMPLETELY SHREDDED. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A TIRE EXPLODE LIKE THIS AND I HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN TWICE OVER THE COURSE OF TWO MONTHS IN A 16 MONTH OLD CAR WITH ONLY 20K MILES ON IT. I HAD A 200K MILE 2002 HONDA AND WHILE IT HAD FLATS ONCE EVERY 5-6 YEARS MAYBE, I NEVER HAD A TIRE EXPLODE LIKE THIS AND I DRIVE LESS NOW THAN I DID WITH MY HONDA. THERE IS CLEARLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE TIRES THAT MAKES THEM SO SUSCEPTIBLE TO SHREDDING LIKE THAT. IT MAKES ME VERY SCARED TO CONTINUE DRIVING. I WORRY THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS I WILL BE ON A FREEWAY OR NOT SOMEWHERE EASY TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
