I WAS (A 53 YR OLD WOMAN) DRIVING ALONE THRU THE DESERT, PULLING A TRAVEL TRAILER (2,500 LBS) WHEN THE TREAD SUDDENLY PEELED OFF MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE . IT WAS DAYTIME, JULY, HOT AND I WAS GOING ABOUT 60 MPH. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STOP WITH OUT INJURY OR DAMAGE. I IMMEDIATELY REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES BECAUSE OF MY DISTRUST OF THE THEM. THE DOT LISTED IS OFF ONE OF THE TIRES( THAT I NOW HAVE AS A SPARE)--I DON'T HAVE THE ONE THAT PEELED. I ASKED THE TIRE PEOPLE TO SAVE THE BEST OF THE 4 FOR A SPARE. I AM FURIOUS THAT I RISKED MY LIFE ON TIRES THAT WERE KNOWN AS DEFECTIVE. *AK( DOT NUMBER: W2HL IMO 3 TIRE SIZE: P23575R15 )
