rough day!!!
We had some bad storms here Sat. knocked the power out for about 18hrs, so I cleaned up a the branches, polished on my truck, and had few beers. My son borrowed my wife car to take a 300 mile round trip to his girlfriends sisters house, the tread came off tire almost like a recap and did this. Good news is nobody got hurt and my truck looks good and the powers back on.

Re: rough day!!!
Yikes! Luckily it's only a F*rd....
 j/k, glad it didn't cause a wreck, hopefully insurance will take care of it. Gotta ask, what kind of tire?

Re: rough day!!!
If memory serves me, there was a lawsuit a couple years ago about tires delaminating & blowing out on Furd Explorers. Caused some rollovers, if in the front. Not sure if it was the tires or the vehicles at fault.

Re: rough day!!!
It was T/A radial I've never seen one throw the tread like that, I'm glad the wife wasn't driving it, she probably would have wreck it.

IIRC, there was a great debate as to fault, but it was largely determined to be Ford's fault for recommending tire pressures below normal... for ride comfort.
