WHILE DRIVING ON THE NJ TURN PIKE AT 70 MPH, MY HUSBAND FELT WHAT SEEMED LIKE A TIRE GOING FLAT. HE PROCEEDED TO TRY TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. SUDDENLY, THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW AND HE TOTALLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. HE WAS HIT HEAD-ON AND IN THE REAR. BOTH HE AND THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE WERE INJURED AND TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. TWO DAYS LATER WE WENT TO SEE THE CAR AT THE TOWING GARAGE AND WE SAW THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS SPLIT ON THE SIDEWALL. THESE TIRES WERE REPLACED RECENTLY AND WERE ROTATED AND CHECKED BY GOODYEAR THREE MONTHS AGO. GOODYEAR SAW NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES AT THAT TIME. IS GOODYEAR WAITING FOR A DEATH TO OCCUR BEFORE THEY ISSUES A RECALL? THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE RSA18" TIRES. *JB
