Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON A WELL MARKED AND WELL USED DIRT/ROCK BACKROAD AT 10-20 MPH, THE LEFT REAR TIRE SUDDENLY FAILED CATASTROPHICALLY. THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE SIDEWALLS AND THE INNER SIDEWALL WRAPPED ITSELF AROUND THE AXEL SEVERING THE FLEXIBLE RUBBER HYDRAULIC BRAKE HOSE. SINCE THE SIDEWALLS WERE DESTROYED, I AM UNABLE TO FURNISH THE DOT NUMBER YOU REQUESTED. *AK (TIRESIZE: 265/75 R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 265/75 R16 )
