During the drive to Florida, a hard brake (no skid) and steer to the left was necessary. Immediately following that, the steering became shaky and a road rumbling noise was noticed. After settling in, we took the car to a Firestone dealer and they re-balanced the tires. That did not stop the shaky steering wheel or the road noise. One week later, while changing lanes, the tires ran over lane divider bumps and a blowout occurred. Replaced the flat tire with the spare (full size) and immediately, the road noise ceased and the steering wheel was perfectly normal. I inspected the tire and found a 2 inch rip/gap in the center of the tread. Went back to the Firestone dealer and was told I had run over a some kind of sharp road hazard. I believe the belt beneath the tread had failed.
