Mud max radial mudder tires purchased new for the front of my chevy pick-up on 5/17/08 failed on a trip from colorado to phoenix and back on 11/26/08 and 111/28/08 when the tread separated from the tire body. It caused a serious vibration in the front end, but they did not blow out. One was replaced with a new tire and the other with my spare. I believe we were very lucky.
I was towing my fifth wheel trailer when I noticed the truck started bouncing violently. I looked in my side mirror and noticed the rear wheel wobbling, so I pulled over and changed to my spare tire. I continued driving for approximately another 20 miles when the bouncing started again. It was the other rear tire. I had to call someone to bring me another tire in order to make it back home. I am putting (4) new tires on the truck. The truck is a 2001 chevy 2500hd with only 24000 miles on it. Both tires have tread separation on them.
