| Description of the problem | As i wa driving on i-495, i heard a noise from the right rear. Within a few seconds, the tire went flat and i was able to pull over to the shoulder. On removing the tire, i found that the inner sidewall had completely separated fro the tread and crack was almost perfectly circular and about midway up the sidewall. This was definitely not caused by any foreign object intrusion as these tires are almost new (replaced under recall last year). |
