I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON ROUTE 495 AFTER LEAVING ROUTE 66 FROM VIENNA, VA. I WAS GETTING AN UNEVEN LIGHT THUMP FEELING LIKE I WAS DRIVING LINED PAVEMENT, BUT IT IS NOT ON 495. I HAD A VERY STRONG PULL OF THE STEERING WHEEL, AND I CHECKED MY MIRRORS TO SEE IF I MAY HAVE RUN OVER SOMETHING. I SAW THE FULL CIRCULAR PART OF MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE ROLLING ACROSS THE HIGHWAY BEHIND ME. I HAD TO GRAB THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTLY TO BRING THE VEHICLE ACROSS THREE LANES OF HIGHWAY TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. I WAS HELPED WITH PUTTING ON MY SPARE TIRE, BUT ONLY HAD ABOUT AN INCH OF RUBBER LEFT ON THE RIM OF MY WHEEL. I DROVE TO THE WALDORF OFFICE OF TIRES PLUS ON THE SPARE AND HAD THE TIRE REPLACED THE NEXT MORNING AFTER THEY FOUND A REPLACEMENT AT APPROXIMATELY HALF PRICE BASED ON MILEAGE.*AK
