| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We had four aquatred iii tires placed on the vehicle on march 28th. my wife and i couldnt pick up the car on the 28th, so we drove to mueller tire & brake store on the morning of march 29th. the phone number of the westlake store is: 440-899-1888. the address is 25409 detroit road, westlake, oh, 44145. after picking up the car at 9:17:54 a.m. (on the invoice), i was driving to work. i drove about 5 miles on i-90 eastbound towards downtown cleveland. i was driving about 60 to 65 miles per hour. i had just turned on my radio when i noticed that the tire noise seemed to be increasing. i turned off the radio, and started moving towards the right hand land. the tire noise continued to increase. i was hoping it was a precautionary measure, but i decided to get ready to pull off on the west 117th exit (exit number 166). my hopes of precaution disappeared when i started smelling burning rubber. i then looked in my drivers side rearview mirror and noticed that my left rear tire was belching smoke. the rear of the car started to shake. i pulled off a little ways onto the exit ramp. i then got out to see if i could possibly drive the car to a service station, but the tire was completely destroyed. the tread was ok, but the inner and outer sidewalls were completely shredded. im not quite sure how i was able to get the car off the highway. *ak (dot number: dot#2800 tiresize: 185/65r14) |
