Filed Nov 18, 2013 · Tires · 105,743 miles · GA

I was driving on I-16 running about 65 MPH all of a sudden l hear something like a cannon going off. My truck started weaving it took all I had to stay in control. I was finally able to get to the side of the road looking in my rear view mirror seeing a big transfer truck coming my way trying to dodge the huge piece of tire that came off my truck. I finally was able to get out because of the traffic. The back left side of my truck was all crunched in where the tire had beaten it to death thank the good lord I was ahead of the traffic so they had time to slow down. It was a bfgoodrich lt.287 75 r16 t/a k/o. I've been doing some research and finding out this is happening a lot with this tire why on earth has bfgoodrich not put a recall on this tire because of the complete tire separation. I am deathly afraid of the other 3 tires on my truck now. These tires are not cheap by any means.
