Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT WHEN I HEARD A SOUND AS IF A LARGE TRUCK WAS APPROACHING. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THAT WERE THE CASE, SAW NO VEHICLE, REALIZED THE CAR WAS BEGINNING TO VIBRATE AND SLOW DOWN SO I DECIDED THAT IT MIGHT BE A TIRE. AT THIS POINT, I BEGAN TO SLOW AND DRIVE TO THE SHOULDER. AS I PULLED OFF THE ROAD ONTO THE SHOULDER, I HEARD THE TIRE HITTING THE CAR. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR WITHOUT SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE CAR.( DOT NUMBER: 8XX81RT110 TIRE SIZE: P215/60R16 )
