Colorado

  • 34,000 miles
Left rear tire blowout while traveling southbound on us hwy 550 at mile post 84 over red mountain pass. This is a particularly dangerous pass with steep drop offs and narrow, if any, shoulders. Driver was able to find room on the right side of road to remove the blown out tire and mount the spare. Had this blowout occurred on another stretch of the road, driver and truck would have gone over the edge. Asphault pavement was dry and ice-free at the time. Driver judges the blowout due to manufacturing defect: Ply and tread separation. Tire was oem provided with the new truck, not quite 2 years old, and otherwise ample tread life. Driver has photographs of the tire, and keeps the tire in his barn for inspection if required.
