AS I WAS DRIVING ONTO AN EXIT FROM THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60-80 KMH, THE WARNING LIGHT ON MY CAR SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH A TIRE. THE INFORMATION DISPLAY STATED THAT MY TIRES' AIR PRESSURE WERE NOMINAL. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE CAR BEGAN TO SHIMMY. I RE-CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE DISPLAY AND NOTICED THAT THE REAR RIGHT TIRE HAD 1PSI WHILE THE OTHER TIRES HAD 30 PSI. I IMMEDIATELY DECELERATED AND TURNED INTO THE BREAK DOWN LANE. AS I WAS DOING THIS, THE TIRE BLEW OUT. MY PASSENGER AND I EXITED THE CAR AND NOTICED THAT THE TREAD COMPLETED DETECTED FROM THE SIDEWALL. *LN
