Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I had been driving on the high way for about 20 miles at 65 mph (the speed limit was 70 mph) when the left rear tire (goodyear wrangler at/s lt285/75r16) exploded. it ripped the fuel filler neck off of the truck bent the rear bumper and bent the side of my truck in many places. these tires had more then half tread left on them and there is no reason this should have happened. i wasn't pulling a load or driving too fast. fuel spilled out of the gas tank and could have caused a fire. these tires are unsafe to drive on if this type of think happens. *jb
