| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On may 26, 1999, i was driving past janesville, wisconsin on i-90 at 65 miles per hour. the car started shaking and i heard a thump on the undercarriage. i also saw tire tread fly out from under my car in the rear view mirror. i got out to see which tire was flat. there was no flat tire, however on closer inspection, i saw that all of the tread came off of the right rear tire. i managed to limp along on the shoulder and exit i-90. i went to the closest tire center ( goodyear ) and bought four new tires. i am sending this report because of what is happening with the p235 firestone/bridgestone tires. i think the nhtsa should start investigating other tire sizes because of what happened to me last year. thank you for your prompt consideration in this very important matter.( dot number: tire size: 205/65r15s ) |
