Fisk classic radial P235/75ri5ms108S + S tire burst on vehicle in our driveway. The vehicle had not been driven for three weeks due to the purchase of a new vehicle. Thank god it did not happen while driven.
The problem noticed was believed to be the brakes, and after many shop visits having new brakes put on with pads, and even a new set of tires, the defect in the front drivers wheel was still noticed with no explanation as to what it was.
