Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Driving on a mountain highway at about 50 mph. temperature outside was around 10 degrees fahrenheit. rear driver side tire blew out (360 degree rip in sidewall). there was about 25,000 miles on the tire and the tread was in good condition. i measured the remaining tire pressures at about 36 psi. fortunately, the road at that point was straight and there was no snow on the road. we were able to safely pull over. the only correction that has been done, is the bridgestone tires were all replaced with goodyear tires (even though all the treads were still in good condition). note: the entry form didn't allow me to specify exactly what size my tires were. they were 215/65r16! *nm |
