Left hand front tire blew out traveling on a straight hwy no warning there was a problem with the tire. Was driving at the legal speed limit of 75 mph. I was lucky there were no other vehicles next to me or traveling in my direction at the time. It damaged the fender and inner liner, the tire was sent to Goodyear and they said it was my fault the tire blew out. That I had hit something and caused damage to the belt. That is not true. I did not hit anything and there was nothing on the road to cause any damage to the tire.
