Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY AT 70 MPH MY LEFT REAR TIRE VIOLENTLY BLEW OUT. I GAINED CONTROL OF THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT OVER TO SHOULDER. TIRE WAS ABSOLUTELY SHREDDED TO PIECES. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS EVIDENCE OF EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE TIRE, AND THERE WERE NO FOREIGN OBJECTS IN ROAD OR IN TIRE. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL WHEN THE TIRE EXPLODED AND AS I CROSSED OVER LANES TO THE SHOULDER. THIS TIRE COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND DEATHS.*AK( DOT NUMBER: )
