I am familiar with the term and what happens and it didn't. I drive all 3 porsches exclusively, about the same number of miles and in the same manner on the same roads. I know when and if I hit a pothole, etc and it didn't happen. What are the odds that 3 of the 4 tires on one car would be the victims of the alledged impace damage while none of the hankooks had a problem. And in a 3 month period. The 3rd one to go bad even had 2 bubbles both on the outside sidewall directly across from each other.
