While driving at about 40 mph back right tire went flat instantly without warning. Tire make: Bridgestone potenza P195/55R15. The tire showed no signs of wear or damage and was only driven on for 25,000 miles. I took it to a repair shop (pepboys) and they found that the inside steel belt had broke and caused the tire to fail. I replaced that tire with another brand (cost $100), and still have the damaged Bridgestone tire for evidence.
