I had two new tires put on the front of my car two years ago, Winston Winners. They were recommended by the sales guy, and should have lasted several years because I don't drive much. Just after Christmas, I had a major blowout on an interstate while driving in a center lane. Before I knew what was happening, I lost control of the car. Thank God other cars were able to avoid me, and I managed to maneuver the car to the shoulder. The tire was in shreds and smoking. My daughter and I were badly shaken, but uninjured. A highway incident management trucker came along, took off the mangled tire and put on my spare. He inspected the thing, and said he couldn't see anything other than it just being a "bad tire" with a manufacturing defect that caused it to go like that. A few days ago, the same thing happened with that tire's twin while on a rural road. Nothing looked abnormal on the outer tread, but it was ruined. My warranty's expired, but I feel ripped off. Is there anything I can do?
