Consumer Description

I HAD BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED WHEN THE TIRE BLEW UP. IT BLEW OUT MY QUARTER PANEL 2 INCHES FROM THE FRAME OF MY CAR. HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY I WOULD NOT BE HEAR RIGHT NOW . MY CAR VEERED OFF THE RAOD ,OVER THECURB AND INTO A PARKING LOT. HAD THERE BEEN A PERSON NEXT TO ME THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. GENERAL TIRE SAYS THERE NOT LIBEL BECAUSE THERE WAS A PLUG IN THE TIRE. THAT PLUG AHD ONLY BEEN IN A SHORT TIME. THE INTEGRITY OF THE TIRE WAS NOT COMPROMISED BECAUSE OF THE PLUG. I HAD AN EXPLOSION, THAT WAS THE PROBLEM.THE TIRE COMPNAY CANNOT TELL ME FOR EVERY TIRE THAT HAD A PLUG IN IT THEY WILL NOR BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT IF IT EXPLODES. THAT IS UNCONSCIONABLE. *AK (TIRESIZE: P20565R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P20565R15 )
