Tread separation on right front tire, vehicle traveling approx. 70 MPH, posted speed 70 MPH, almost lost control of car with vehicle instability. Tire purchased 10/18/1999, only 13,000 miles on tire. Very lucky no injuries, but why did tread separate? Not a blow out, as tire was inflated with air hissing out when we were able to stop. On interstate 95, and able to pull over safely, but again, very lucky not to be passing another vehicle or on a bridge when tire failure occurred. Should there be a recall for these tires too? Just because no injuries and minor equipment damage from flailing tread wound around axle doesn't mean it's a safe tire.( dot number: tire size: p245/75r16 )
