“While driving back from a field trip in our 15-passenger van full of children, the steeltex r4s tire had a blowout and tread separation. By some sort of miracle our driver, going 55 MPH on the highway, manage to keep control of the vehicle. Thankfully all the children are safe,but I am extremely concerned that I was unaware of other complaints regarding these tires. I would have never let the children ride in the van with those tires if I knew the problems with them. …”
