    I had a catostrophic sidewall failure of a goodyear wrangler duratrac tire (mdw8 b11v 4110) that had only 2140 miles on it. The tire failed at 35 mph but had to be driven about 100 feet to remove it safely from the roadway. I have a picture of the result if needed. Had this happened on the interstate the result would have been significant.
