The tire blew out on i10 just right outside of gulfport ms. It was a very hot day. I checked that the tire was properly inflated (30psi) before I left home. I did not hit/run over anything. I believe that this tire should be considered for a recall as this is the first tire I have ever owned to blow out.( dot number: vdkc41a117 tire size: 205 75 r14 )
