Tire blowout; driving with cruise control @ approx. 60 MPH on open highway. Left/rear tire (driver's side) suddenly blew out without warning or prior evidence of possible tire failure. Tread is very much separated and sidewalls, both inside and outside (as relating to tire placement on truck) have approx. 30-40 slashes in them. It appears as though the tires sections (possibly belts?) just came apart and the tread portion of the tire came off. Like previously mentioned, the tire had shown no warning signs of possible failure, was not underinflated, was not anywhere near close to the point of having insufficient tread wear (still approx. 3/8" tread left on tire) or did not show any superficial damage to the sidewall or tread. The damage caused to my vehicle has still yet to be properly evaluated and officially determined, although it appears there may be some damage to the wheel itself and possible damage to the hub and supension units, not to mention alignment and whatever else shows up in the damage evaluation and assessment. *ak (tiresize: 235/70 r15)( dot number: tire size: 235/70 r15 )

S/n on tire m3ulbf7x4000, entire side wall failed causing a blowout. I was driving 65 MPH with no weight in the truck. Tires were purchased on 12/13/2000 and only had about 2000 miles. Several layers of rubber separated allowing for one side of the tire to be completely seperated (you could put your hand inside the tire and run it all the way around). The broken rubber did not smell burned. I returned the tire to sam's club in vernon hills, il for replacement, they replaced the defective tire, but refused to replace the other tire. They assured me that this was an isolated incident and that michelin would fully investigate the cause of the failure.*ak (dot number: ? Tiresize: lt23575r15)

This tire was rotated from left front to left rear two weeks prior to tread separation. When driving at low speed (15-25 MPH) on the day of incident we could feel a wobble in the vehicle but did not connect it to any tire problems. After driving 150 miles of a 600 mile trip a loud pop was heard we determined that the tire had blown. My pregnant wife applied the brakes and pulled the vehilcle off the road onto the right hand shoulder of I-35 just south of dallas. The tread had separated and did damage to the left rear quarter panel, and fuel filler neck of the rear tank. I took video tape (available to you) of the incident. We replaced the blown tire with the spare, continued to little rock, ar where we purchased an identical tire and replace it in the left rear position. United services automobile association (usaa) paid for a claim that we submitted. We experienced a side wall failure on the right front one year earlier on memorial day traveling from oklahoma to arkansas.*ak (tiresize: 235/75r15)( dot number: tire size: 235/75r15 )
