| Description of the problem | Car had 27540 miles on factory original toyo nanoenergy tires when the rear passenger tire blew out. I was 22 miles into my drive home . No tps warning and i had visually looked at my tires before heading home. The entire tread separated from the sidewalls. The sidewalls stayed with the rim and i was able to safely stop the car on the grass median. This type of sidewall blowout has never happened in all my years of driving. I was on us-321 north bound just after the hardin rd exit going 70 mph at time of blowout. Not in a turn but nearly straight line driving. Weather was mostly sunny and 65 degrees. |
