Tire blowout or tread separation by model year
What owners say
My 2006 chevrolet silverado has a defect where the tires rub against the suspension of the vehicle whenever a turn is made. This could cause a tire to blow out causing me to lose control of the vehicle. Chevrolet says they can not repair my truck.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 35 MPH on normal asphalt roads, pieces of the tire tread separated from all four tires. This occurred several times over the course of 5 months. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer, who determined the cause of the problem was normal wear and tear. Updated 11/21/2006 -
Driving at low speed in downtown macon, right front tire blew out. Sidewall had 0.5 inch slit and obviously was beginning to "separate" (I could see what looked like a thread). Tires were just balanced/rotated week of april 10, 2006. Tread looks ok. Could see "deterioration" around entire tire sidewall above lettering and below tread. Inspected the inner side of the tire wall and noticed same deterioration in same area (rubber was cracked in defined area completely around the tire).
We were driving down the interstate at 75 MPH and had a rear tire blowout for no apparent reason other than a possible tire defect. We did not hit anything. We quickly slowed and got off the road. The tire side wall blew out. The tires are new and had less than 3000 miles on them.
