Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING AT POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 65 MPH ON SOUTH-BOUND FREEWAY NEAR ASHLAN AVENUE IN FRESNO WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. INITIALLY, I THOUGHT I HAD HIT SOMETHING IN ROAD AND IT GOT CAUGHT IN THE UNDERCARRIAGE. THERE WAS A VIOLENT VIBRATION FOR APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET. I IMMEDIATELY SLOWED AND GOT IN THE CENTER LANE MAKING MY WAY OFF THE FREEWAY AND 3-MILES TO MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK, CHECKED FOR DAMAGE AND FOUND THERE WAS NO TREAD ON THE TIRE AND MY LEFT REAR FENDER WAS THRASHED. I CAN PROVIDE DIGITAL PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE COMPLETE SEPARATION OF THE TREAD FROM THE TIRE.*AK (DOT NUMBER: A308443367 TIRESIZE: P235/70R16)
