I WAS DRIVING A 1997 TOYOTA TACOMA GOING ABOUT 65 MPH ON I-45 NORTH IN HOUSTON TEXAS WHEN I HAD A TIRE BLOWOUT JUST BEFORE THE AIRLINE EXIT. I LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK SMASHING INTO THE CONCRETE BARRICADE ON THE FREEWAY AND DOING A COMPLETE 360 CIRCLE ON THE FREEWAY, LUCKILY I DIDN'T HIT ANY ONE ELSE. THE TIRE THAT BLEW WAS A UNIROYAL P205/75R14WW UNIR AS TIRE. THE BLOWOUT OCCURRED ON THE SIDE WALL OF THE TIRE. MY PICKUP TRUCK AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED IS A TOTAL LOSS. WHEN I BOUGHT THE TIRES, THE TIRES CAME WITH A 40,000 MILE WARRANTY, BUT THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. I HAD 35,000 MILES ON THE TIRE THAT BLOWOUT OCCURRED. TO ME IT LOOKS LIKE THE TIRE FAILURE OCCURRED FROM THE MANUFACTURE. IN T
