CrashInjury

My family and I were nearly killed when our right rear tire on our 1996 suburban lost it's tread. The tire was a firestone, at, steeltex, 245/75r16. The tire never lost pressure the tread came off and cause us to go out of control into oncoming traffic where we nearly hit a pickup truck head on. From the point where the tire lost the tread to the time that I avoided hitting the oncoming truck we were in a skid which was about 100 to 150 feet with a chord lenght of about 8'.
