I PURCHASE FOUR YOKOHAMA ASCEND TIRES AT TOWN FAIR TIRE IN SALEM, NH ON 07-10-12 . ON 5/09/13 MY TIRE BLEW I WAS PULLING INTO A GAS STATION AND MY TIRE BRUSHED THE CURB AND IT ACTUALLY SPLIT. I HAD TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAVE MY CAR TOWED AND PUT A DONUT ON IT. I WENT BACK TO TOWN FAIR TIRE THE NEXT DAY AND BOUGHT ANOTHER TIRE BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE A WARRANTY. (REASON BEING- THEY WERE 30 DAY RETURNS - SO NO WARRANTY. SO I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER TIRE. TODAY 5/28/13 IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THE TIRE BLEW AND RIPPED OPEN. I ONCE AGAIN CALLED TOWN FAIR TIRE AND THEY SAID BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE TIRE NEW THEY WOULD REPLACE IT FOR FREE. I DON'T TRUST THESE TIRES AND I WOULD LIKE THEM ALL REPLACED. *TR
