2 Tire Tread/belt problem

Failure Date: 01/10/2001

While driving on the highway under normal circumstances suddenly the car started vibrating, first lightly then harder. I pulled over and saw the problem, one of the tires shredded the tread and then it just 'auto-destroyed'. It's under warranty (less than one year and only 13000 miles) but am reporting it just in case I'm not the only one with this problem. ( dot number: ).
