Was on my way home from work and heard a loud screech, since I was just down the street from my home I pulled in my driveway and the tire blew. Upon inspection I noticed the tire was completely slashed from the front right coil spring breaking. New coil spring strut shock and axle.

Tire blowout or tread separation by model year
What owners say
Futura 875 tires made by bridgestone firestone with tread separation on all 4 tires. These tires seem never to have existed. They are not futura 775 tires they are futura 875 tires. These tires were purchased july 2001 at a time when dangerous tires were in the news for roll over accident's killing people. Yet pepboys never notified us they were defective. Now the tread separation on all 4 tires is very obvious and the tires must be replaced. Clearly there are still defective dangerous tires on the road waiting to harm a trusting public. Why?
My daughter had just driven all over the state with her student teaching assignment. She was going to teach for the day when she had tire failure. She had just left from her apartment going 10 MPH and about one mile from her place. The coil spring broke jabbing into her tire and causing a blow out. We had to have the car towed and the mechanic said these mecuries and ford sables were good for this kind od a problem. Then I got on line and it sais that one point back in 95 that these kind of cars had to have guards to protect the coils from the tires. I am concerned.
Vehicle was going down the hill and black smoke was coming from rear. Driver's front tire blewout due to coil spring slipping down over the strut which pushed up against the tire and puncturing it. Dealer was notified. Please provide more information.
General g4s tires (p205/65r15) experienced tread separation.
The junction box behind the light panel melted, causing rear lights/ parking lights and panel lights to blow out. No fuses blown. Everything was deformed. Dealer contacted and was aware of the problem. Incident occurred once a month. Repairs done at the owner's expense.
While driving the passenger's front coil spring broke, puncturing the tire and causing a tire blow out and almost an accident. Prolbem similar to previous year model recall.
