“The tires have been on the car with correct pressures since purchase oct 2012 and proper rotation. Pressures are monitored. On the incident date, I had driven approx 80 miles at speeds under 60 miles/hr with no heavy breaking, on smooth road, when suddenly, on the interstate, the tire began loosing pressure from 40 lbs to <34 lbs (with car warning). With pressure going steadily down, I was able to safely get off the interstate onto a side road and church, where I saw the sidewall had split with air escaping (now 24 lbs pressure). …”
