Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING BACK FROM A FIELD TRIP IN OUR 15-PASSENGER VAN FULL OF CHILDREN, THE STEELTEX R4S TIRE HAD A BLOWOUT AND TREAD SEPARATION. BY SOME SORT OF MIRACLE OUR DRIVER, GOING 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, MANAGE TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THANKFULLY ALL THE CHILDREN ARE SAFE,BUT I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT I WAS UNAWARE OF OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THESE TIRES. I WOULD HAVE NEVER LET THE CHILDREN RIDE IN THE VAN WITH THOSE TIRES IF I KNEW THE PROBLEMS WITH THEM. THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE TO THE DRIVE SHAFT DUE TO THE BLOWOUT, BUT THE VEHICLE IS STILL IN THE REPAIR, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THE DAMAGE OCCURRED. *NLM
