“Was coming out of a rest stop at 75mph & felt a bump. Pulled vehicle over & checked the tires & found nothing wrong. Later, saw a sliver of the tread coming off & pulled over again. Still noticed nothing. Had put vehicle on cruise control when the tire exploded. Stopped vehicle. Tire was still inflated, but ttread had completely separated. Went to next rest stop & replaced tire with the spare. Do not have the original tire.”
