My vehicles are meticulouly maintained and tire pressure checked monthly and prior to any longer trip. Tire pressure was checked the day prior to this incident. While driving approximately 70 MPH on the freeway, the right front tire sustained a full blowout, causing damage to the fender/wheelwell areas. My vehicle almost rolled but was able to correct it without a crash. Original tires are continential 225/70r 19.5 with excellent rubber still on the tires. …”
