My wife was driving the 1998 Jaguar Xe 20D with about 13,000 on odometer, on the highway (I-95) at normal speeds when suddenly she saw in an instant that the dash indicated a problem with the tire and the car started to jerk to the other lane and she could barely brake. Luckily no one was injured nor was the car damaged or hit. I came over and when I arrived I saw that the rear passenger tire had basically disintegrated. The thread was out of the tire and the sides of the tire embedded in the wheel rim which helped avoid damage to rim as the car was riding on the rim at that point. A support truck from Florida dot came and assisted in installing spare tire. Technician noted that there was nothing that seems to hit the tire. It seemed to be a catastrophic failure from the tire. Car has only 13,000 miles. Tires are always inflated to correct recommended psi. Perhaps these tires need to be recalled?
