| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased 4 new nankang ex-500 tires for my 1995 honda civic ex in october 2005. they seemed to be in near perfect condition up until the incident. no balding or wearing was visible. on 2-12-06 while traveling on the freeway at approx. 75 mph, the sidewall on the right front tire completely separated from the tire without warning and very abruptly, forcing me into the lane to my right and narrowly missing a collision with a vehicle in that lane. i was able to get over to the shoulder to change the tire for a spare. i obviously had to replace the tire, and in addition, i will need to adjust my alignment as it was seriously compromised as a result of this incident. *nm |
