Tire problem #1

I was driving on the interstate at about 75 mph, when one half of my tire expanded, causing the car to shake violently, and almost forcing me to lose control. The tire was taken off, and replaced with the donut. I will attempt tomorrow to have all 4 of my tires replaced, as they are fairly new (under 10,000) and I no longer feel comfortable driving the vehicle. These were cooper life liner, touring sle tires. Size 215 60r16 95t m+s.

Tire Tread/belt problem #2

Toyo tire size p21560r16, name spectrum; when traveling 75 mph, chunks of tread flew off the tire. Consumer stated that the tire remained inflated. The damaged area was down to the wire cords.
