| Tire problems |
Yesterday my 23-year daughter experienced a dangerous incident, with bursting of the right front wheel tire while driving on the freeway. She almost killed herself. It is a new car (Mini Cooper, 2008) with only 11,000 miles traveled. The aaa which was called for assistance did not find any sign of external perforation and thought that it was an explosion of the tire.
