Consumer Description

ON MAY 26, 1999, I WAS DRIVING PAST JANESVILLE, WISCONSIN ON I-90 AT 65 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND I HEARD A THUMP ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE. I ALSO SAW TIRE TREAD FLY OUT FROM UNDER MY CAR IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. I GOT OUT TO SEE WHICH TIRE WAS FLAT. THERE WAS NO FLAT TIRE, HOWEVER ON CLOSER INSPECTION, I SAW THAT ALL OF THE TREAD CAME OFF OF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. I MANAGED TO LIMP ALONG ON THE SHOULDER AND EXIT I-90. I WENT TO THE CLOSEST TIRE CENTER ( GOODYEAR ) AND BOUGHT FOUR NEW TIRES. I AM SENDING THIS REPORT BECAUSE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE P235 FIRESTONE/BRIDGESTONE TIRES. I THINK THE NHTSA SHOULD START INVESTIGATING OTHER TIRE SIZES BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO ME LAST YEAR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROMPT CONSIDERATION IN THIS VERY IMPORTANT MATTER.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 205/65R15S )
