ON A CLEAR OPEN ROAD, HIGHWAY 15, OUR TIRE BLEW OUT. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. FIRST WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE, THEN SMOKE FROM THE REAR OF CAR, THEN THE CAR BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. SINCE THE CAR WAS ALMOST NEW WE TOOK THE TIRE TO GAUDIN FORD IN LAS VEGAS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE TIRE. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT HAD TO BE A ROAD HAZARD AND THAT WE WOULD NEED TO BUY A NEW TIRE, WHICH WE DID. ON OUR LOCAL NEWS THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL STORIES ABOUT THE SAME TIRES BLOWING OUT THE SAME WAY, BUT UNFORTUNEATLY FOR THEM, THESE PEOPLE WERE KILLED. I THINK THE TIRES ARE UNSAFE. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )
