RAV4

  • 82,997 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Driving on I -10 in buckeye AZ @ speed of 65-70 when saw sparks coming from front driver side of my Rav4 then a load thumping sound and then the car weaving from side to side and I thought it was going to roll over. I was able to get the rav to the side of the freeway and when exiting the car saw that the tread had separated from the tire but the tire was fully inflated this caused damaged to the wheel well, bumper and fender resulting in an insurance claim and alot of jittery nerves as there were 2 small grandchildren and a pregnant daughter in the car. Tire is a uniroyal P215/70R 99S bw tiger paw touring sr. Bought at 61,194 and I now have 83,000 so I have put 22,000 miles on these tires in 3 years.
