“While driving down the interstae i85.I headr a very load bang ....my left rear tire seemingly blew out..my truck went into a very hard to handle slide.the truck went very out of control to the right...I was able to pull of the interstae..and noticed the tire didn't feel flat....the tire tread completly seperated from the tire. And the tire was still inflated..which is what made the truck so out off control..would like to know if this has happened to the gillette tire before seeing I have three more on the truck...thanks timothy kunkel. (tiresize: 205/14)”
