I purchased this Suburban used from valencia Nissan with 23,000 miles on it. They stated the tires were new at that time. On the indicated date, I was towing a travel trailer on the freeway at 60mph, the truck started to rattle then the left rear tire exploded. I safely stopped on the shoulder. I had my wife, 4yr old & 2yr old in the vehicle with me. After inspecting the tire, the tread completely separated from the tire in the same fashion that the recalled firestone tires did. I wanted to know if this set of tires was also under recall. I would like if you could call me regarding this matter. Thank you. (dot number: v611b1a tiresize: 245/75r16).
