Was Vehicle Towed: -	Description of the Complaints: I purchased my chevrolet extended cab silverado truck approximately 7 months ago. today my bridgestone v-steel rlb265 radial lt245/75r16 load range e mts 120/116s tire blew out. the blow out occurred on the side of the tire (about the 'e' in the word bridgestone. there was no foreign object - it appears to have been a weakness in the tire wall. i almost careened into another car - since i was just beginning to merge on from one express way to the other. this is very dangerous & needs to be rectified before someone is either injured or killed. is this going to keep occurring with these tires? if so, i want all 4 replaced with something different. *jb
