Default 37x13.5r18 tire falure! Help

So I was driving to work like a normal day...... To find my self starting to counter steer..... I knew after I really started pulling to the passenger side I should pull over. I instantly got out and checked my front end and things... to notice my 37" Mickey Thomson atz was flat. There are 4 holes I can put my fingers in and huge cracks all the way around right in the thick sidewall tread. Everyone that has saw it says malfunction. How can I Handel this???? Mabey get a discount on a new tire form Mickey? Help

I would love to see pictures of that! I would go to where you bought them first and see what they say first.

Do you have the person's phone # who bought the tires? Some places have tire warranties and will replace the tires.

This exact thing happened to me but with BFG's. I went to my local tire shop and purchased the same tires. The tire guy said he would fill out a claims form to send off to BFG before I left the shop. I reviewed the form and let him know all the info was correct. One and a half month later, I recieved a call from the tire guy asking me to come by his shop. When I got there, he handed me a check for half of what I spent on the new set. The check was for almost $600.00

This is the reason I continue to buy BFG tires. They handled it very well.

The dealer can call him and get permission to give you his number. or give him your number. A few vehicles ago I had traded in a Grand Cherokee and the person buying it wanted to ask me some question. The dealer called me to get my permission and the buyer called later on that day. I don't know if that's common practice for a dealership, but they did it here.
