Pe00-020; while driving about 60 MPH right rear tire had a tread separation, but tire never went flat, and consumer kept control of vehicle. Chevrolet, venture, 1997, general, ameri p205/704 185, dot a3m0db1446. *ak general tire claims the tire failure was due to road hazard.
While driving east on 494 at 55 MPH one of front firestone tires exploded. The car swerved all over the interstate but fortunately the traffic was light at that time so no accident occurred. The tire was shredded and needed to be replaced. A nearby gas station put on the spare and the next day I paid to have the pr680 replaced at a firestone dealer (store #016926-29f1 tr:8870 07 99) since then the other front tire needed to be replaced but the 2 rear tires are still original. From the newspaper pictures I've seen (e.g. 9-2-00 minneapolis star tribune business section) the tires on my chevrolet minivan seem to be exploding just like those ford tires recalled.( dot number: fr 680 )
