“I was traveling home from work yesterday evening. I was doing between 35 - 40 MPH. All of a sudden I heard a loud noise. I pulled over to check my tires for a flat or see if something was hanging below my car. No flat, nothing hanging. But my tire tread had separated from my tire. I purchased those tires brand new from firestone on 05/24/2002.”
