What owners say
Traveling from fl to ia. Tire blew out in northern georgia on interstate 75. Inside of passenger rear tire came apart from rest. Tire in two complete circles. Had to get towed and tire replaced. Very scary situation. Car handled ok. No nails or cause of blowout determined by towing/tire business who replaced tired. I am worried about driving with other tires. Only have 27,000 miles on them. Thanks.*ak (tiresize: p185/65r15)
