Pe-00-020; tires were purchased for a 1996 toyota, tacoma ,15 inch tires, DOT number not available tires only have 12 thousand miles on them. Consumer's brother was driving at 50-55 MPH, and left frontal tire blewout, causing vehicle to flip, killing the driver.
Initially felt a vibration in my steering wheel and accelerator pedal. Was trying to decide from where the problem came when my left rear tire blew it's entire tread, which then wrapped around my axle, causing me to spin 360 degrees and off the highway and down a grassy slope, which, fortunately, was soft enough to stop me without making me flip over. Damage: wheel rim and cover, wheel well liner ripped off, thereby bending it's rear bracket, which in turn pulled my fender in.
