| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Travelling on interstate 29 in missouri at the posted speed limit of 70 mph, having driven for two hours in 65 degree weather, the right rear tire separated, and i was able to safely navigate the tahoe onto the shoulder of the freeway. the entire circumference of the tire separated from itself on the outer side. there is no sign of a blow-out; we have kept the tire and taken pictures to hopefully have the situation diagnosed. have never experienced a tire malfunction of this type in our lives. as i was driving on an uphill grade at the time of failure, presumably this made it easier to control the vehicle to a stop before i could have rolled down a slight embankment. please advise. . .this serious malfunction could easily cause severe injury or death! thank you. *ak (tiresize: p265/70r16) |
