I bought a set of 4 of these tires at the BIG O store at 2420 W. Northern Phoenix Az, on 12/2022. Within the first year I began to feel a wobble on the front. Then one day I woke up to the left drivers side tire flat, so I took it to Big O and they replaced the tire because a big screw went through the tread to where they had to replace it, plus it had a bubble on the tread. Then they rotated the tires. So the new tire was on the left rear and the old CXV was on the front. So months later, I started feeling the front start to wobble again. I looked at the left front (CXV) tire and found that it had a big bubble on the better part of a quarter of the tread portion of the tire. I took it back to Big O tire and they replaced it again. They said it was due to the heat. But they marked the right front tire with yellow crayon where the bubble on this tire was. But said nothing about it. Then a week or two ago I started feeling the wobble again So I saw That the right front tire had a bubble on the tread again. This was the same tire that BIG O had marked and let me drive away with. So 3 tires of the CXV performer have had the bubbles on the better part of 30-50% of the tread. I have not got this tire fixed yet. I was going to go back to Michelin's or Yokohama. The tire is very bad. I called the BIG O tire and they said it was because I have not rotated the tires as often as I should have. They said it was going to cost me the same price for the new one. I told them I wanted this tire back as I was going to send it to NHTSA. Then the guy said, "oops your still under warranty, we can replace it for the price of the warranty certificates. We havent had any problems with those tires." I wonder if this is true? My niece bought tires from BIG O same make and had the same problem with her tires. Please investigate this before someone dies or gets hurt from these tires falling apart at high speeds. I am out the money for new tires.
