This did not involve a Rootes Group product. I had a three-year-old tire die from side wall collapse. I did not wreck the car but it was a horrifying experience. A friend of mine who is a truck insurance broker demanded pictures and I sent them to her. It cost me about $200 in towing costs. Marc msmall at aya.yale.edu Cha robh b`s fir gun ghr`s fir!
