My family and I experience a near fatal accident when a douglas/goodyear xtra trac tire literally exploded off of the rim of our car. The result was there was nothing left of the tire except for a very small piece of rubber on either side of the rim. (ihave pictures of the blown tire). I returned to walmart where I purchased this tire. At first the store looked at what was left of the tire and said they couldn't do anything. Then when I informed them that I purchased this tire from them at that store, a salesperson chuckled and remarked was it an xtra trac tire I said yes. Another mechanic looked at it and said they would sell me another xtra trac tire. I declined the offer and took by business elsewhere. This was the third tire (douglas/goodyear tire) that blew. In each previous instance the tire shredded. In this instance the tire exploded. In each instance the tire had not reached the warranted mileage that the tire was suppose to be good for. What is disturbing is that walmart is still selling this defective tire to the general public with this known defect.
