“On 4 aug 2012 at about 2:15pm my wife experienced a failure of her right (passenger side) rear tire. The tire is a dunlop sp sport 01 as 225/40r18. The car was being driven at about 35 MPH on surface streets. My wife heard a pop noise and noticed that the tire inflation warning came on. She immediately called me and aaa.
