Narrative

I felt the tail end of the Harley begin to lose traction and began to slow to pull off the highway onto the shoulder. The tire separated completely from the rim which cause me to lose all control of the steering. There are multiple instances - including 5 fatalities and 22 injuries on record - of the same Dunlop D402 tire I had on my Harley. No warnings whatsoever.
