Firestone Wilderness AT tire failure P265/75R/16, coming off highway at approx. 55 mph slowing down to around 45mph when heard a sound like something was scrubbing. Pulled over and noticed front left tire flat. Has 4 inch long slit with a slight curve in it. Stress cracks similar in curvature all around slit and tire.
Heard a pop sound, vehicle tracked sideways, preceeded to shoulder through traffic, tire sidewall was shredded. (dot number: W273 tiresize: 265/75 R16)
This tire had a major blow out through the sidewall. Side wall had a major split on the outside and the inside. Nothing was hit. The vehicle crossed 3 lanes of traffic before control was established. The vehicle had just been picked up the 2 days before and the air pressure can not be verified. Tires did not appear to be under inflated. (dot number: PD70 tiresize: P245/75R16)
