problem #10

On 22 April 2002 at approximately 5:35 pm while driving on I-10 West near lordsburg, nm my van started to vibrate violently. I assumed it was uneven pavement however when I slowed down the vibration diminished but did not cease. Not sure what the problem was I exited and stopped for the day. The next morning while inspecting the car I noticed the passenger side rear tire was coming apart (badly). I had the damaged tire changed and the others inspected. The other tires appeared fine. I bought the tires new in April 1999. They have approximately 34,000 miles on them. I still have the damaged tire. Do you want it? please feel free to contact me.
