| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This tire and rim is the original spare tire that came with the vehicle when new. spare tire was mounted on rear axle of vehicle for first time use. after a few miles of use, noticed a tire wobble condition. thought it was one of the front tires so replaced them with new. problem persisted. swapped out rear tires and rims with others and isolated the problem to be the nos spare that i had just put on 100 miles earlier. with the intention of bringing the tire/rim to a tire dealer for inspection, remounted this tire/rim in the spare tire carrier in passenger compartment. the next day, i went out to the vehicle and noticed that the tire had exploded. fortunately a window was left down. otherwise, all the vehicle glass would have been blown out from the explosion, possibly injuring a pedestrian nearby. if a person had been in the vehicle, especially if sitting right in front of the tire, they could have been injured severely or lost their eardrums. i still have the tire for inspection.*ak (dot number: m3cc861x3 tiresize: p205/75r15) |
