I was traveling south on interstate 35 in fort worth when my front left tire suddenly blew out. After putting on the spare, I examined the faulty tire and found that the entire side wall had blown out, 360 degrees around. The tire still had sufficient tread. I took it to three tire dealers, and they all agreed it was not a standard blow out and was caused by a defective tire. There were no road hazards and I was traveling in fairly heavy traffic, but I was able to come to a stop and make it to the shoulder. After hearing of the problems and injuries/fatalaties that had been associated with this particular type of tire, I decided to replace all four rather than take any chances with my safety. The total cost to replace the four tires totaled just under $600. Furthermore, I've inquired about replacing the wheel as it too was damaged. The cost on that is $368 from the toyota dealer.( dot number: tire size: 265 75r 15 )
