I WORK FOR A MARINE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE HAD 8 TIRE FAILURES IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS INVOLVING THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND SIZE OF TIRES ALL OF THE TIRES APPEAR TO BE FAILING DUE TO SIDEWALL FAILURE. THE BRAND OF TIRE IS NOT LISTED AS A BRAND IN THIS COMPLAINT SO I WAS INSTRUCTED TO PICK AND BRAND OF TIRE FOR THE COMPLAINT. THE BRAND INVOLVED IS: QIND RUBBER COMPANY NOT THE TIRE LISTED. ALSO THE TRAILERS ARE MAGIC TILT, NOT EASY LOADER. *TR
