The tire split from bead to tread when I ran over a pvc pipe at less than 1/2mph. The pipe was not broken so there were no sharp edges and the impact did not break the pipe. When I contacted the local dealer he refused to replace the tire saying it was a road hazard. I asked for a number to call and was refered to an office in nashvilletn. I called and talked to a person who identified himself as rock. I told him what happened and he refused to authorize the replacement of the tire saying it was a road hazard. I told him that these were off road tires that should not have so easily ruptured. He told me that they had to make the sidewalls thin because people like me wanted their truck to ride smooth and the vehicle manufacturers made them build them that way. I told him that I did not believe that. He told me that he did not care what I thought as I was not one of their customers but was just using their product. I then hung up but called a customer relations number listed on the internet. I told the lady that took my call what "rock" had said and she called the local dealer and authorized the replacement of the tire. I am still concerned about this model tire.*ak (tiresize: 245/16 lt)( dot number: tire size: 245/16 lt )

Traveling down winding 6% mountianous grade pulling trailer on busy laborday weekend. I could feel a slight vibration begin to build, I told my wife who was driving to slow down immediatly and pull off to the shoulder. As she worked her way over a loud pop could be heard, luckly we had slowed conciderablly. The truck started to wiggle as we pulled off to the shoulder. The tread had started to delaminate from the sidewall. Had I not been very attuned to the feel of the truck and road we may have been the next to be in the newspaper. We are afraid to drive our 1 year old truck at sppeeds over 45 MPH.( dot number: w273 tire size: p265/75r16 )
