I was driving on hwy. 40 going 68 miles per hour when the right front tire just popped off. I got control of the truck and made it to the side of the hwy. Because there were cars all around me when the incident occured I could not get off the road quickly enough and thus so causing the entire rim to be destroyed. The tire came off in one big ring and flew into the highway causing traffic to have to go around it at a high rate of speed. I had to dodge traffic that was already having to go around to the side of the road I had to be on to get the tire out of the path of on comming cars. I retreived the tire and kept it to investagate if it was a recall or not. I had an accident on 5-12-04 when one of the other tires just like that one had blown out and caused my truck to roll and skid down the hwy. Ending upside down. I had to go to the emegency room and be checked out. I sustained scrapes and brusies and broken ribs. I didnt think it would be the tires since these were not the tires that had the recall on them. But after the other tire blew I figured it needed looking into.I had to have my truck repaired through my insurance company and pay the deductables for it to be done. I paid for two tires and a rim replacement. The internet said that there was a volentary recall on the tires that I had and gave me a number to contact them about it but when I called the lady said it was not one that is one the list. I wanted to file this complaint so that if there were others out there that have had the same problem maybe they will recall these also before someone gets hurt real bad or losses a life. There tires should not be allowed on the roads.
