Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON THE 215 FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 TO 75 MPH IN THE #1 LANE WHEN I HEARD NOISES I RECOGNIZED FROM MY PAST AS TIRE TREAD COMING LOSE FROM THE TIRE IT SELF. I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO MANEUVER MY VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. AS GOD WOULD HAVE THERE WAS A BREAK IN TRAFFIC THAT ALLOWED ME TO DO SO. AFTER THE ROADSIDE SERVICE (AAA) ARRIVED TO CHANGE THE DAMAGED TIRE WITH THE SPARE I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THE DAMAGED TIRE WAS DAMAGED ONLY TO THE OUTSIDE WALL OF THE TIRE. WHICH APPEARED TO HAVE JUST COME LOSE. I AM THANKFUL THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT CAUSED BUT I DO WANT TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. *TR
