CAR FISHTAILED ENDING UP AGAINST GUARDRAIL. TIRE BASICALLY DESTROYED. NO INDICATION OF DEBRIS IN ROAD AT TIME PROBLEM STARTED. I AM VEHICLE'S ORIGINAL OWNER. THIS TIRE HAD NEVER BEEN PUNCTURED OR REPAIRED AND HAD NEVER HAD A PERIOD OF UNDERINFLATION. TREAD INSPECTED BY DEALER AT ROUTINE SERVICE ABOUT 5 DAYS PRIOR AND WAS IN GREAT SHAPE.
