Description of the problem	On dec. 23 my wife, my son, and i were driving along ga highway 365 at approximately 60-65 mph and rear left tire blew out. I saw no debris in the road and the driver behind me, my brother in law, saw the tire blow and didn't see any debris on the road but saw smoke coming from the tire as it blew. The tire blew straight across from the front side of the wheel to the back and stayed on the wheel. This tire, as well as the other 3, was approximately 2 months old and had less than 5,000 miles on it. Upon inspection, the rear right tire, which didnt blow, has a bulge on the sidewall near the top of the tire (closest to the tread). They were purchased from gainesville tire service (770-534-5280) and have not yet been taken back due to the holidays. We can likely find out the exact date of purchase from charge card records if necessary. The passport has 4 wheel drive capability although it wasnt activated at the time of the incident. Your form didnt allow me to enter all the necessary dot digits and they are as follows:mk9lcrwr529. We will attempt to take photographs of both the blown tire and the remaining rear tire that has a bulge. I am going to take them back to gainesville tire as soon as possible and would appreciate your contacting me expediently in case the tires need to be saved for your inspection. *ak (dot number: mk9lcrwr52 tiresize: p24570r16)
