Art, the rubbing you see is where the tire was running on the ground. When I pulled over it was still holding a little air. Not for long, though. The tire people agreed the tire was defective and provided a free replacement. I still think the rim was cracked by the blowout and there's a big rubber mark near the crack. But they don't agree. The rim is not nearly as expensive as I figured. With tax it's about $185 and tax. I figured double that.
I'll give the Freestars another chance. But not many more.
