While driving southbound on I-25 in ft. Collins, my left front tire blew out, at freeway speeds, for no reason. I did not hit anything or go off-roading at all. I own a 2002 ford f250 powerstroke, short bed crew cab 4x4. The tire was a firestone steeltex. The tire was blown into three pieces: left, right and a complete circular section od tread. My brakes were torn apart, as well as my surrounding plastic trim pieces. My daughter and myself were very scared, but happy that nothing worse happened.
