| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: As i was driving east on state route 410 east the right rear tire blew the tread off about 3/4 of the way around the tire. this tire was my spare and had been rotated on to my van about 18 moths ago. it was almost brand new then it still had the little rubber nubs on it from being new. it is estimated that this tire had less than 8000 miles on it. when the tread cam off it knocked the exhaust pipe up into the fender and the tread then wrapped itself around my suspension. i ws unable to read the dot code on the tire because of the damage. my fender is pushed out and i have a hole in my exhaut pipe from this incident. fortunately it did not completely blow out. i still have the tire and the tread that came off of it. i can if necessary have the person who helped me on the roadside write a statement of what he had to do to get me back on the road again. |
