Consumer Description

ON JUNE 12, 2008 WE WERE DRIVING UP ROUTE 301 NORTH JUST AFTER THE RT. 50 SPLIT WHEN THERE WAS A BLOW OUT ON THE LEFT FRONT TIRE ON OUR TRUCK. IT WAS FRIGHTENING AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO CONTROL THE TRUCK AND GET TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE. I OBSERVED A PORTION OF THE TIRE FLYING OFF TO MY LEFT. WE CALLED THE MD STATE HIGHWAY PATROL AND AN OFFICER RESPONDED AND EXAMINED THE WHEEL AND REMAINDER OF THE TIRE. THIS WAS A CLASSIC CASE OF TREAD SEPARATION AND THERE WAS OVER $2000 OF DAMAGE TO THE LEFT FRONT FENDER, BUMPER AND RUNNING BOARD OF THE TRUCK. GEICO HANDLED THE INSURANCE CLAIM AND THE TRUCK HAS BEEN REPAIRED. ALL OF THE TIRES ON THE TRUCK AT THAT TIME WERE GENERAL GRABBER TR, LT 235/85R16, DK-6559 32628 *TR
