“I was traveling on highway 2 in washington state, at 60 MPH when my Ford f150 front passenger tire blew out causing the truck to pull toward the ditch. No one was hurt. I changed my tire and contacted the tire company where the warranty would be honored. I had 30,000 miles on a 2 year old truck. I thought something would be done about it but nothing was. I am concern about my remaining tires I have on my truck.”
