Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased a brand new set of potenza's on the dec 7. i had them mounted on in the afternoon dec 8. went straight home 10 miles away. on dec 9, i noticed my car would swerve a bit i was entering the freeway, i spun out six or seven times at 45 mph. when i pulled over i saw that i was driving on my rim, my tire on the right rear side wasn't on. i retrieved the tire. the tread and wall tore away from each other. even though i did not hit anyone/anything from the spin out, my car, a 2005 model, is considered a total wreck from all the damages that resulted from the tire loss. *nm
