“My witness who drove with me checked the tire pressure before we left because we were driving over 150 miles. We were driving from almost apache junction,az to sierra vista az. To pick my 7 year old son from his mothers. We got outside of casa grande going the speed limit, we heard a loud noise and felt something hit the side of the car. Come to find out the tread completely peeled off and when it peeled off it did $2000 of damaged to my passenger side of the car. Even though the tread peeled off there was still air in the tire, so we drove to a tire place and got a spare tire in eloy, az. …”
