My daughter was returning home to madison, al from auburn university, alabama using interstate I-65 north. Just outside of birmingham, al at mile marker 170 she had a blowout of the right rear tire. The tire tread seemed to completely separate from the sidewall all around the tire. The tire was completely useless. The tire was on a Jeep Grand Cherokee overland with full time four wheel drive, which we believe helped my daughter come to a safe stop on the highway median. The tire was a goodyear wrangler sr a p235/65 r17 dot mk87 dywr 0506. We are now very concerned about the quality of the remaining wrangler tires on this vehicle and if it is safe to continue to use them. Pictures of the damaged tire and the tire itself are available.
The rear driver's side tire blew out while driving at 50 mph and the other 3 tires formed bubbles in the sidewall. Manufacturer replaced all tires, including the spare tire. There were bubbles on the inside and outside.
