Tire Blowout problem

Was driving on the florida turnpike in the miami area, under rush hour traffic, doing about 75-80 mph when the front left tire blew up from the side wall. Almost lost control of the car. The tire has a 4" opening on the sidewall close to the wheel. Called hankook, they sent me to a local distributor who said he couldn't do anything about it. Tires were about 2 years old with plenty of thread left. Last hankook tires for me, family and close friends. I am replacing all the tires on this car. Tire is a hankook ventus v12 evo.
