“The treads have come off two of my tires in the last year. I have a third tire with it's tread almost coming apart. Both times we were on the freeway doing 65. Will these tires be recalled. The last time the tread came off I saved the tire and tread. We have three kids and we don't feel save driving them in the car.( DOT number: w2hy tire size: 215/70r/14 )”
