| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Pulling a fifth wheel trailer on i 75 about 50 miles north of tampa florida. 95 degrees and speed at 65 mph, i had a blowout. i was able to control my truck and get to the side of the interstate. about $5000 in damages was done to my truck. i filed a complaint with general tire and sent the old tire to them for inspection (only 32000 miles on tire lt235/85r16). they claim the tire was damaged before blowout and would not be responsible for damages. i contacted my insurance company (nationwide) they have several cases of blowouts of this same tire. i believe someone other than general tire should inspect these blown tires. *nm |
