Default Bye Bye Blazer

Well totaled the blazer yesterday, front driveside tire blew out, hit a dodge neon head on, slid sideways into a tree, then rolled into a ditch, everyones ok. NEVER EVER GONNA BUY DEFINITY DAKOTA M/TS AGAIN!! The tire didn't even have 10,000 miles on it and still had over 85% tread.

Wow you are seriously lucky to be alive after that. Unfortunately blazers dont have the best crash test ratings but it looks like this one held up well enough. So you werent driving someone else was? And since the tire blew out you arent getting a ticket are you? just curious

That's insane! Kind of scary on my end because I have some definity tires too. I have the a/t 2's. Hopefully this was just a rare case. Glad everyone was okay! That tire wasn't but a year or year and a half old eh?

Good thing you guys are ok, and good luck on your case, suing a big company like that will probably be a challenge.
