My wife was driving my 2013 Chevy Equinox back to Pennsylvania and she had a blow out on interstate 80 in New Jersey. I had to pay $165 to have my truck towed off the high way. She put the donut on and continued driving to Pennsylvania. She got the tire replaced another $205. The guy at the tire place gave her the tire back and suggested we file a complaint because he didn't understand how it happened. The side wall had a big hole in it.
