On march 29TH at 2:20 pm I had bolted on and torqued to spec brand new tires and wheels(which I had bought from custom offsets online and where shipped to me balanced, mounted and ready to go) then at around 3:30pm the incident occurred. I was traveling down the freeway about 70 miles an hour in the far left lane and in about 2 miles from getting on the freeway I heard a loud bang and felt the front left side of the truck fall onto the rim. As soon as the prior events took place I slowly starting tapping the breaks to work up to breaking faster and harder to slow down but on the particular part of the highway I was on the shoulder was losing more and more area so I eventually ended up hitting the k rail not intentionally, coming to a stop. Please also note that I had not hit nor run anything over on this clean smooth stretch of highway. As described prior I had started tapping on the breaks so I didn't lock them up then eventually fully breaking after tapping. Further to add 4 days later on april 2 I was taking off the wheels and tires to send them back to the company I purchased them from (custom offsets) I noticed the rear passenger side tire started to come off the bead and create a egg on the side wall which shows that there are two and just one defective tires sent to me.the tires were toyo open country at 3'S 315/75/16 and the wheels were american racing wheels 16x10's supplied to me by custom offsets website balanced and mounted.
