We had entered the interstate highway and had traveled about 5 miles. While passing a semi and in the left lane of the highway, at 70 mph, the right rear tire blew out. The vehicle started to vibrate and the tire was slapping the underside of the fender. Control of the vehicle was maintained and the vehicle was slowed down and moved to the center median. When traffic cleared, the vehicle was moved safely to the right shoulder of the highway. After exiting the vehicle, inspection of the right rear tire revealed a total blow out. The other members exited the vehicle and remained in the grass away from the vehicle while the tire was changed. When the tire was changed we continued to the next exit and used back roads to return home. New tires were purchased on Tuesday, oct 23, 2012. The tire specialist indicated that the probable cause of the blow out was hitting a pot hole.

While driving on the freeway, rear toyo tire blew out. Required replacing 2 tires, the one blow out and another in front that had tread separation issues identified by tire mechanic. Upon return from trip, taken back to installation dealer and they contacted toyo who offered a $30 refund on each. Since the original purchase was for 4 tires, the two remaining tires were also at risk for similar blow out. Toyo did not want to offer refund unless proof of tire rotation was provided. The issue was ultimately with a faulty blow-out (3 tire dealers stated that this was not a wear-and-tear issue but a defect) and not a matter of getting refund yet toyo's focus was on proving that the tires were not maintained rather than dealing with an obviously dangerous product out in the market.
