In June of 2004 my husband was on his way to drop something off to me at work. Him and my son made a right onto one of the back roads. They had to come around a big corner he could not have been going 25 mph. The replacement tires I had purchased at sears, ameritrac SUV tires p20575r15 the right front tire blew out a hole the size of a fist on the front side of the tire both my son and husband heard the bang. The vehicle was thrown out of control went into a ditch did a half roll on its side took out 6 mailboxes continued on all four wheels for about a hundred feet came to stop on other side of road. The vehicle just had been serviced and tires rotated from back to front a week before and looked great the police officer at the scene said there was no objects in the road to cause failure and my son and husband did not feel anything or see anything in the road. My SUV was a total loss. My son had a hole in his knee were the seat came up and jab him but was not taken to hospital I handled it at home. I have the tire and pictures of the scene and SUV. I have been trying to find somebody to make aware of this issue I hope I finally did. I did have the tire looked at by three mechanics I was told possible beaded blowout. There was still a great deal of tread left on tires.

The sidewalls of the factory tires were cracking. Went to a general tire dealer and they installed 5 new tires under warranty. The manufacturer had sold the rights to the general name to a korean tire CO. The factory tires are not made in the us tires. They were aware of this problem and gave us the new tires quickly.
