WHEELS, STRUCTURE:BODY, TIRES
DURING TRAVEL ON INTERSTATE 40 AT EXIT 56, DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE SEPARATED CAUSING DAMAGE TO INNER FENDER, WINDSHIELD WASHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, AND FENDER AND NEARLY CAUSING CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND LOSS OF LIFE OF AN ENTIRE FAMILY. ALL TIRES WERE AT THE PROPER INFLATION AND TEMPERATURE RANGE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. WITH ONLY 20,000 MILES ON THE TIRE, THIS SEEMS TO BE MANUFACTURED DEFECT FROM THE GENERAL TIRE COMPANY. I NO LONGER CONSIDER GENERAL TIRES TO BE A RELIABLE PRODUCT AND WILL RESEARCH AND SEEK REPLACEMENTS FROM OTHER REPUTABLE TIRE COMPANIES. I DO RECOMMEND PRODUCT RECALL OF THE AMERITRAC LT235/80R17 TIRE LINE AS WELL AS PRODUCT SAFETY COMPLIANCE INSPECTIONS OF THE GENERAL TIRE COMPANY. *TR
