The contact stated that while driving at highway speeds, the driver's side rear tire experienced tread separation. There were no warning lights illuminated.

LARGE HOLE APPEARED IN SIDEWALL OF TIRE ON MY DAUGHTER'S CAR WHEN TIRE CONTACTED CURB WHILE PARKING, CAUSING TIRE BLOWOUT. GARAGE MECHANIC STATES THAT TIRE APPEARED TO BE FLAWED AND PRONE TO SUCH CATASTOPHIC BLOWOUT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION WHICH COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN TRAGIC IF CONTACT WITH CURB HAD OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEED. I REQUEST THAT AN URGENT REVIEW OF THIS TIRE BE CONDUCTED, ESPECIALLY IF THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER SIMILAR OCCURRENCES. TIRE INVOLVED WAS MICHELIN MX4, ALL SEASON, P195/65R15, M+S. *JB
