On 6/6/00, while driving home with 2 carpool passengers the left rear tire disintegrated at 70 MPH in 105 degree heat. The first indication that something was wrong was an extremely violent thumping from the rear. I thought at first that the driveline broke and was smashing the pavement, but then, after no more than a second, the noise stopped and the steering wheel was almost wrenched from my hands as the truck lurched severely to the left, hurtling us towards the bushes that are the only separation from oncoming traffic on that stretch of hwy 99 near selma ca. The wheel had actually locked up for an instant as the failed tread wrapped around the axle before ripping free. In the fraction of a second it took to realize I was no longer in control of the vehicle and was probably going to crash into oncoming traffic, the tread peeled off all the way. Instantly, the noise and violent motion stopped and I watched the tire's tread tumble into the median through the left side mirror. I noticed I had instinctivly took my foot off the gas at the first sign of trouble, and I was now cruising at 60mph with no trouble. I eased into the right lane, slowing further, thing to pull over but the truck was handling fine. Seeing an exit 1/4 mi. Ahead, I headed for it with flashers at about 50mph. Upon stopping we were amazed to find the left rear tire stripped of tread, but still fully inflated, (30 psi according to my guage). The shredded tire imploded my rear fender, left black gouges above and around the fender, and striped away the mudguard and interior of the wheel well. After changing the tire and depositing my shaken passengers at our carpool site,I went to the nearest tire dealer and bought a set of uniroyal tiger paws. They threw away the firestones and I have no record of them, but I do have a record from my local goodyear dealear when I took the truck soon after I bought it with a complaint of a strong pull to the right. They did an alignment test and told me a be
