I was driving north on the muskogee turn pike around mile marker 9 when i heard a noise. I felt shuttering and looked in the rear view mirror and saw a large piece of tire flying through the air. I immediately pulled over and changed the tire. All of the tread was missing and the tire was still inflated. This caused over $1,800 in damage to my car and cause me to have to buy a new set of tires. *tr
