Description of the problem	On friday, april 22, 2011, we were traversing i-55 north of grenada, mississippi. I was using cruise control traveling at 73 mph when, without any warning of anything wrong, we heard a loud noise like the whirring of helicopter blades overhead. I turned off the cruise control to let the car slow down because i didn't know what was happening; as my wife slid open the sun roof cover to look overhead. As we slowed down, the driver's side rear tire tread hit my side of the car and passed us up going down the interstate. I then felt the drag on the steering as i pulled off onto the shoulder of the highway and applied the brakes stopping the car. Prior to the helicopter sound, i never had any pulling or steering problems that could have been caused by a tire running on low tire pressure. I also never received a low tire alarm from my tire pressure alarm system. As an addition, i'll add that my five tires are inflated with nitrogen for better tire wear and life. I went to alexander toyota in franklin, tn to purchase a new tire so i'd have a spare. I picked up the damaged tire off the interstate shoulder and my car insurance company know has the entire failed tire to examine. The failure was a bridgestone; model "dueler hl-400"; dot: ob7c.
