| Description of the problem | On thursday, august 23, 2018 at approximately 12:20 i was driving down i820 south bound at the speed of 65 mph when i heard a loud pop that sounded like a gunshot, about 30 seconds or less later there was another one. The steering wheel started shaking and i almost lost control of the vehicle. Luckily, i was in the far right lane and at an exit when i regained control and i immediately took the exit and got to the shoulder of the service road. It appears the tire failed from the sidewalk. See attached picture up close to view two sidewall ruptures consistant with the sounds and tire failure. Tire is goodyear eagle rsa with approximately 55% treadlife remaining |
