Description of the problem | 2016 toyota highlander with oem toyo 245/55r19 open country m&s 103t tires at about 70 mph on i95 south board near brunswick ga (exit 38?) , a loud bang was heard and then the bumping made it obvious a tire had failed so the vehicle was stopped well of the road near an exit. The local state highway assistance truck (champ) stopped after about 20 minutes and the toyota response service truck showed up about 20 minutes later - the tire was changed and we proceeded on our way - many thanks to the "road ranger" and his truck and expertise! The tires had about 28,500 miles on them - estimate about 55%of original tread and are marked: dot 78hh cnd 1016. There appears to have been a hole in the sidewall that caused sudden loss of pressure. |
