I have photos available of the tire in question. There are 3 separate pieces: the complete (intact tread), the inside sidewall and the outside sidewall. The tire came apart while driving back from visiting relatives after the holidays. I was traveling about 60 miles per hour when the left rear tire effectively came apart. The car started fishtailing and I came very close to running off the road with the possibility of rolling over. It was a very scary situation. I feel that this tire and probably the other 3 tires have a manufacturing defect. Goodyear/dunlop wanted the tires to be inspected by one of their dealers and then confiscated and destroyed. I believe that the way the tire in question effectively disintegrated constitutes a serious manufacturing problem. I currently have all four tires stored in my garage. If at all possible, I am asking for you to inspect these tires so it can be determined accurately whether or not they present an ongoing safety problem. I would not want anyone else experience the traumatic experience I had to endure. Please let me know if you can help me with this matter.
