Driving to work on the highway about 9 am, the tire tore itself open without warning. I had noticed the night before that it was slightly underinflated, as if from a slow leak -- but nothing substantial. What was astonishing was the sheer degree of destruction. It was as if someone had inserted a saw and ripped the sidewall open through 180 degrees of arc. Thankfully i was able to slow down and stop without serious incident.( dot number: w2hhawb505 tire size: p225/75r15 )
