As I was driving the 2000 ford e350 uhaul the rear right tire disintergrated and blew out while driving at 55 MPH on a very hot day in northern california. I temporarily lost control of the truck but managed to pull off the road where I waited a long time for the highway patrol to rescue me. You folks need to seriously investigate uhaul, firestone, and ford for putting my life at risk and selling dangerous crappy tires. Thank you.( DOT number: tire size: huge )
