| Description of the problem | I own a 2005 ford f250 with 35x12. 50x17 in tires on stock rims. I was traveling north on route 8 with my daughter of 30 days.. Yes 30 days old and my drivers front tire fell apart. This resulted in a horrible crash. We were torn off the road immediately and went through lots of wire guard rail, down a 40 foot cliff and took out dozens of trees, some of them were 14" round. We rolled end over end and again sideways during this time. I was struck in the head with the roof. There was some serious head cuts on me along with swollen sore bruised etc everything else. My 50,000 truck is totaled. Its now junk and i could have killed my daughter and myself due to this defective tire. |
