Tire shreded at highway speed. Distroyed wheel and nearly lost control. (dot number: 377 tiresize: P265/75R16)

Tire size is LT265/75R-16/C. the tire failed while returning from omaha with my wife and 8 month old son. I have digital pictures of the tire and truck that can be sent over E-mail. I have contacted pirelli and they want me to send the tire along with estimates to fix the truck. I spoke with nadine calderwood at 1-800-243-5105 ext 387. She did not seem to care if anyone was injured or not and seemed to be exactly like her title a risk manager. The tires have aprox 20,000 miles on them. I was driving 75 mph and the truck had a slight vibration I checked tire pressure when we stopped and visually inspected the tires. After we filled with gas the vibration was no longer there. After our second stop the vibration returned and then the tread separated with a violent crash destroying the entire side of the truck and causing the truck to almost loose control and shake violently. I understand that a large tire co like pirelli has to watch out for their best interest however they should put the customers well being at the top. I would appreciate any information you have about other pirelli tire separations that have been filed. Thank you. (dot number: Chw8gp4419 tiresize: 265 75R16C)
