THE TIRE BLEW OUT ON I10 JUST RIGHT OUTSIDE OF GULFPORT MS. IT WAS A VERY HOT DAY. I CHECKED THAT THE TIRE WAS PROPERLY INFLATED (30PSI) BEFORE I LEFT HOME. I DID NOT HIT/RUN OVER ANYTHING. I BELIEVE THAT THIS TIRE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL AS THIS IS THE FIRST TIRE I HAVE EVER OWNED TO BLOW OUT.( DOT NUMBER: VDKC41A117 TIRE SIZE: 205 75 R14 )
