Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On 8/31 i was driving on a highway at about 65 or 70 mph. i was heading straight and without any advanced notice my tires spun out from underneith me and the car spun 5 complete turns before stopping on the side of the road. i very barely missed the median and was physically ok. when i looked at my two front tires, 1/4 of the treading had completely come away from the tire. the tire had no tread and had come off down to the wires. i was able to exit the ditch that i was in and get to a sears where i had two new michelin tires but on the front two tires. however i still have 2 of the original equiptment. although they have not been in the recalls, this happened exactly the same way the recalled tires have blown out and could have severe, if not fatal.( dot number: tire size: 175 70r14 )
