While exiting the highway on an off ramp, approx. 20-30 mph, the left front tire blew out on the side of the tire forcing the vehicle to slam into a guardrail and damaging the front corner and side of vehicle from front to back. There were no injuries. Insurance covered the damage and also tried to contact manufacturer of tire for damages but they denied any responsibility. The car only had 12000 miles and very little tire wear and the insurance adjuster said it should have been caused from a defective tire. The company denied and we had to pay. Just wondering if there are any other complaints on file. . . Maybe something should be done. (tiresize: p20575r15)( dot number: tire size: p20575r15 ).
