Your Nissan Sentra's front tires developed a roaring noise while driving at highway speeds. A mechanic discovered that the inner layers of both tires had separated from the tire structure. The tires were only 300 miles old when this happened. The manufacturer said you'd need to file a warranty claim where the tires were originally purchased, but the tires were never replaced.

While driving in Florida, your rear tire suddenly came apart, causing your vehicle to spin 360 degrees and sustain damage. You were able to limp the car to your destination at very low speed with help from a highway patroller. The tire failure will likely require replacement of the affected tire and an inspection of the wheel and suspension components to ensure the vehicle is safe to drive.
