Traveling East on I-75 between naples, Florida and ft. Lauderdale, Florida at approximately 6:00 P.M. I heard a strange noise coming from under the car. Immediately the car began pulling to the right. I looked in my rearview mirror to see tread flying up from under the car. I pulled over and saw my front left tire's tread separated completely. I could even see the steel radials exposed. (dot number: W2epbca466 tiresize: 175/70 R14)

Engine came to a complete stop due to the fuel not capable of reaching engine. Consumer contacted the dealer, dealer replaced the tires
