Description of the problem | While driving on the freeway at about 65 70 mph, the tread separated from the sidewalls of the tire. In a matter of about 15 seconds we were riding on the rim. Because it was a rear tire, i was able to maintain control of the vehicle and pull to the side. Had it been a front tire, i doubt that would have been the case. We were headed out on a trip and i had checked the tire only 15 minutes before. Everything looked fine. I have photos of the tire and have saved it and the others from the vehicle. *ak (dot number: vn11b1b 33) |
