Consumer Description

HEADING IN TO WORK ON TUESDAY, JULY 17TH, I EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT ON THE LEFT-REAR TIRE OF MY FORD F-150 PICKUP TRUCK. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF THIS EVENT UNTIL I HEARD THE NEWS TODAY ABOUT THESE TIRES BEING INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA. FROM MY OBSERVATION, THIS OCCURRENCE WAS DUE TO A VERTICAL RIP IN THE SIDE WALL AND NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TREAD SEPARATION. I'M LOOKING TO PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT SET TIRES THIS COMING WEEKEND FOR THE VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE TO BE UPDATED ON THE LATEST INVESTIGATION STATUS OF THIS MODEL TIRE AND IF I SHOULD PRECEED WITH MY CURRENT PURCHASE. A TIMELY RESPONSE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU! *AK (TIRESIZE: P235/70R16)
