“In the summer of 1998 (july-august) I had three tire failures. The first tire located on the right rear failed traveling 65 miles per hour on I-75. The tread separated leaving the core inflated. I lost traction on the wheel and the vehicle became hard to control as it when off the road. I was able to stop the Bronco and change the tire and continue driving. The second failure occurred when my wife was driving on the left rear a week later on I-4 at 65 miles per hour, the tire separated and deflated and caused about $500.00 damage to the left rear quarter panel. …”
