Consumer Description

WE KEEP THE TIRES AT THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED 35 PSI. THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS BETWEEN 75 AND 80 DEG. WE WERE TRAVELING ABOUT 30 MPH AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT HEAVILY LOADED. WE DID NOT HIT ANY OBJECT IN THE ROAD NOR ANY POTHOLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING SUCH AS VIBRATION IN THE REAR OR BOUNCING OF THE WHEEL. THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE RUPTURED SUDDENLY WITH A RIP IN THE SIDEWALL ALMOST FROM WHERE IT MEETS THE RIM, STRAIGHT ACROSS THE SIDEWALL RADIALLY AND SLIGHTLY INTO THE TREAD. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS INSTEAD OF IN A 30 MPH ZONE, THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE SUDDENNESS OF THE TIRE FAILURE.*AK
