| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Had just gotten off of the interstate after about an 8hr drive, all on the interstate, 65mph avg speed, when i began to notice a strange vibration and associated strange thumping sound. pulled over to the side of the road and realized that the passenger rear tire had gone flat. called aaa and the replaced with the spare. upon inspection of the tire to determine the cause of the flat it was discovered that a section of the tread, about 5 inches, had peeled away from the tire core. the 3 remaining tires were checked for proper inflation and were all found to be in the 35psi range. weather was sunny and in the low 90s. also the remaining tires were inspected for any signs of failure and numerous cracks between the tread area and sidewall were noted and all tires were replaced. there was an estimated 50% of original tread remaining. *ak |
