On jan 2, 2009 I bought 4 kenda tires (cooper tire) from a dealer in watsonville ca. First, I had a blowout on one. It was replaced. Then a second tire blew out on the highway. Close call. Hit tree, totaled vehicle, airbags off etc. I am holding the tire for your inspection if you wish...I have photos.

I was travelling on the freeway at about 70 MPH when the tread blew off the left rear tire. It happened with the right rear tire about a month and a half ago the same way. The tread was not worn, the tube was intact, but the tread was completely separated from the tire. The first time it broke my brake light and dented my rear fender and bumper. This time the damage was much worse. It caused the fuel tank connection to become loose, tore the fender on either side of the tire and ripped the bumper off of the car.
