Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The tire blew with very little warning. the entire sidewall separated from the rest of the tire. i had originally thought it might have been due to a road hazard that i had not seen. since the recent reports i do not think so. it looked exactly like some of the pictures i saw on the news. in over 40 years of driving i have never seen a sidewall seperate like that. i did not pay that much attention to the tread. the tire had 20k+ miles on it but was not in bad shape. *ak( dot number: tire size: 235x15 )
