Consumer Description

WE WERE DRIVING ALONG THE ROAD AND THEN THE BACK TIRE JUST BLEW OUT WE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AND IT WAS BLOWN OUT THE SIDE LIKE IT HAD BEEN SHOT AT. THIS HAPPENED IN JULY 2000 WE CALLED OUR DEALER AND HE SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTYSO WE BRANG IT TO A TIRE SHOP IN LINDSTROM AND HAD A NEW ONE PUT ON.OF COURSE WE DID NOT SAVE IT AT THE TIME IT WAS DESTROYED. SHOULD I BE CONCERNED WITH THE OTHER TIRES NOW AND CAN WE BE REIMBERSED FOR THE ONE WE LOST ? ACCORDING TO MY RECALL NOTICE MY TIRES ARE NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL BUT EVER SINCE OUR TIRE JUST BLEW OUT FOR NO REASON I AM VERY CONCERNED. PLEASE NOTIFY ME IF I SHOULD HAVE MY TIRES CHANGED OR WHAT I SHOULD DO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH KEVIN EICHTEN( DOT NUMBER: W2HL TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )
