Consumer Description

THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT ON SIDEWALL JUST BELOW THE TREAD. THE TIRE DID NOT GO FLAT ALL AT A SUDDEN, BUT SLOW ENOUGH FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF AUTO. THE FAILURE BEING SO CLOSE TO THE TREAD AND BEING THAT THIS SERIES OF TIRES IS IN QUESTION I FEEL THAT A REPORT SHOULD BE MADE. *AK( DOT NUMBER: W2HLRININT TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )
