“June, 2001, tire #npc8 jphr 169 on the rear driver's side blew out while I was doing about 70 MPH in the middle of the night (cool out). The car immediately went sideways to the road, in the oncoming lane. I barely got control of the vehicle, and back to my side of the road only a couple of seconds before an oncoming car whizzed by. A couple of seconds later, or less driving skill, and I would have been killed. This was one of a set of four new tires I got from the local goodyear store. I thought it was just a blowout but I kept the tire as a precaution. I still have the tire. …”
