Consumer Description

AFTER ABOUT 3.5 HOURS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING FROM DENVER TO LAS VEGAS, THE TIRE BLEW OUT OUTSIDE OF GRAND JUNCTION, CO. IN 60+F TEMPS. THE TIRE STARTED TO CHUNCK OUT BEFORE IT BLEW-OUT. I THOUGHT MY WIFE WAS HITTING DEBRIS IN THE ROAD BEFORE THE TIRE BLEW-OUT. THE TIRE BLEW-OUT AT THE SIDEWALL WHERE THE SIDEWALL AND TREAD COME TOGETHER. I HAVE THE TIRE IN MY POSSESSION IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO SEND IT TO YOU. THE DEALER, WE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM, DID REPAY ME FOR THE FULL SET OF NEW TIRES THAT WERE PURCHASED IN LAS VEGAS,NV. *AK (DOT NUMBER: 8XX8 TIRESIZE: P215-60R16)
