| 1997 | TIRES | ON MAY 18, 2000 I HAD A BLOWOUT OF A FRONT TIRE ON A CLEAR STRETCH OF SUBURBAN ROAD. WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE THE TIRE, I FOUND THE METAL THREADS HAD COME THROUGH THE TIRE. THERE WERE NO OBJECTS IN THE TIRE AND THERE WAS NOTHING VISIBLE ON THE ROAD THAT I WOULD HAVE RUN OVER. I TOOK THE TIRE TO A TIRE COMPANY IN THE ATLANTA AREA AND IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS IN ATLANTA, GA WERE HOTTER THAN NORMAL FOR MAY ON THE DAY OF THE BLOWOUT. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. I HAVE VERY LOW MILEAGE ON THE FORD RANGER TRUCK, LESS THEN 21,000 MILES. THE TIRES WERE THE ORIGINAL ONES. THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR ANY TYPE OF HEAVY HAULING. *AK (DOT NUMBER: W2FC TIRESIZE: P225/70R14) |
