These are NHTSA recalled tires for my 2019 Nissan Titan. I had them inspected (via the recall) at Cedar Park Nissan and even though they showed major sidewall issues (peeling, tread chunk missing, etc.), I was told they were a non-issue. I brought them in a 2nd time because the peeling and marring of tire look like major issues - they dismissed it. These are one of the tire models you state in your "Part 573 Safety Recall Report 21V-169". Specifically "Continental Tire 265/70 R18 116S TL Grabber HTS ". My wife and I were driving home with our 8 and 10 year old sons in the truck when the tire completely blew out and we were able to avoid a collision and wreck by the grace of God. I have photos and I have contacted Cedar Park Nissan (the customer service rep would not connect me with anyone in management or authority and said it was my responsibility to find them sometime). I am fine with new tires - or pursuing a lawsuit and getting as much as court will allow. Nissan's choice. Your help would be appreciated, since this is a defective tire and is in the description of a tire the NHTSA deemed as defective. No warnings given - other than the recall the NHTSA issues that Cedar park Nissan deemed unnecessary. The previous symptoms have already been noted, as Cedar Park Nissan was made aware of them 2 times and sent us away without help. The other 3 tires look poor, as I previously showed them twice now.
