The tire was ripped inside and the in 10 miles more it blow out at 45 mph. Sears will not replaced. It was not my fault this time. I remembered that I drove up on the new pavement road to the top of hill. I felt that the left rear tire silpped very fast in one turn. Then I checked it to make it was not flat. I continued to drive back to my place. About 10 or 15 miles later that tire blow out. Due to my deafness I could not hear it blow out. I kept driving about another three or five miles before we stopped for drinks. I looked at that tire flat already. It was damaged badly because both edge were wore out of thread. I believed that I had invisible tear inside the tire. There was no way I can see. At last I noticed the teared rubber splitted apart from the sleet belt. It just look like the Firestone tire problem. If I drive in high speed ( more 55 mph)at that time, my family may be hurted and killed as my van rolled over if possible.
