Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON 4/16/2017 AND GOING THROUGH A TOLL BOOTH ON THE PA TURNPIKE THE CAR SUDDENLY PULLED TO ONE SIDE AND THE AIR ALERT WENT OFF. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND FOUND THE FRONT LEFT TIRE WAS FLAT. AS I WAS CHANGING THE TIRED I FOUND THAT THE SIDEWALLS ON THE OUTER AND INNER ASPECT HAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE TREADS. THE TIRE SIDEWALLS COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED AROUND THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE ON BOTH SIDEWALLS. ALMOST LIKE A RETREADED TIRE DOES. THIS IS A COMPLETE TIRE FAILURE AT 9,100 MILES AND DRIVING SLOWLY THROUGH A TOLL BOOTH. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF MY CAR. SEE PHOTOS ATTACHED.
