MY 2012 FORD EXPEDITION SUFFERED A CATASTROPHIC TIRE FAILURE WHILE TRAVELLING AT 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY. THE TIRE WAS ONLY 11 MONTHS OLD WITH APPROXIMATELY 9000 MILES. THE TIRE WAS INFLATED PROPERLY AND HAD NO EXTERNAL SIGNS OF WEAR. SLIGHTLY BEFORE THE TIRE SIDEWALL SEPARATED I HEARD A SLAPPING SOUND FROM THE LEFT FRONT AND EASED OFF THE GAS. THE TIRE THEN POPPED LOUDLY AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BECOME HARD TO CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO REPLACE IT WITH THE SPARE. THE TIRE WAS A GOODYEAR WRANGLER SR-A. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS HURT BUT THE TREAD CAUSED SOME MINOR DAMAGE IN THE WHEEL WELL AREA. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION CAUSED BY AN UNRELIABLE TIRE. *TR
