I WAS ON INTERSTATE 55 GOING NORTH WHEN MY TIRE BLEW OUT CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY CAR. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR ANY OTHER VARIABLEL THAT CAUSED IT IT JUST BLEW OUT WHILE I WS GOING ABOUT 70 MILES AN HOUR. I PURCHASED THIS TIRE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO BRAND NEW SO I WAS TOLD AT THE PLACE WHERE I PURCHASED IT. I COULD HAVE HURT OR KILLED BUT THANK GOD I DID NOT PANIC. I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK THANK GOD MY WIFE WAS NOT IN IT WHEN IT BLEW OUT.

A PLASTIC PIECE HOLD TWO MALE HOSES TOGETHER MELTED FROM THE HEAT OF THE ENGINE'S MANIFOLD CAUSING THE ENGINE TO REACH POSSIBLE DAMAGING TEMPERATURE DUE TO THE LOSS OF COOLANT. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND STREET BEFORE THE VEHICLE STARTED TO STEAM FROM COOLANT LOSS ONTO THE MANIFOLD. THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT MELTED WAS ENOUGH TO CAUSE A SMALL FIRE ON THE MANIFOLD.
