Traveling 60 mph at 12:45 pm on I-95 nb in MA, 2 miles South of exit 8. clear weather, temperature in mid 60's, smooth asphalt pavement. Sudden loud roaring noise. I thought at first it was some sort of engine failure, blue smoke coming out of rear of car. Next were vibrations and short loss of control of vehicle. I regained control and pulled off to right shoulder. Both sidewalls were disintegrated all the way around, with only a few cords and belts holding the top part of the sidewalls and tread cap to the inner part of the sidewalls on the rim. There was no incident prior to this that would indicate any sort of damage to the tire that failed. I immediately replaced all four tires with a different manufacturer and brand of tires. I believe that this failure should not have occurred with such low mileage on the tires, in the condition the tires were in. (dot number: M6B2lner tiresize: P215/55R16)
