Traveling on interstate at 65 mph when i heard a loud pop and felt a sudden jerk in steering and vibration. I exited to the soulder as fast as traffic would allow.

The tire did have a nail in it which was so snugly in the tire that you could not push it out by hand. This tire should not have been in two pieces!…

Since recall announced on p235's, examined tires more closely to see "paint" actually "divets" of rubber missing out of sidewalls on all tires around entire circumference. Looks like beginnings of separation of sidewall. Can e-mail digital pictures if requested. *ak( dot number: tire size: p265/70r17 )

Recently i went to the body shop to get a rotation. But when i went, the mechanic told me that all my four tires had severe sidewall cracks. The mechanic told me that if i had driven the expedition over 65 mph the tires may have torn off from the rims and flipped my car over. As a matter of fact, the mechanic told me that my problem with the tires is exactly the same as the problem people are having with the…
