Consumer Description

WHILE RETURNING FROM VACATION, I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON HWY. 75 IN HOWE, TX, AT 70MPH WHEN I HEARD THE TIRE BEGIN MAKING NOISE AND THEN IT BLEW OUT. THE BLOWOUT CAUSED ME TO SWERVE UNCONTROLLABLY (90 DEGREES TO THE ROAD 3 TIMES, ACROSS BOTH LANES) BEFORE REGAINING CONTROL AND ALLOWING ME TO GET SAFELY OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. THERE WERE LUCKILY NO OTHER CARS IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA AT THIS INSTANT. THE TIRE TREAD HAD SEPARATED FROM THE CASING AND SHREDDED. ALSO IN THE CAR WERE MY WIFE, 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, AND MY DAUGHTERS FRIEND. THE TIRE CAUSED DAMAGE IN THE WHEEL WELL/REAR QUARTER PANEL AND ROCKER PANEL AREA OF THE CAR AS WELL AS CRACKING THE REAR TAILLIGHT LENS AND DAMAGING THE ALUMINUM WHEEL.( DOT NUMBER: VDUUJBA227 TIRE SIZE: P225-70R15 )
