Traveling at highway speed, the right rear cooper 31x1050r15 tire tread separated, causing my chevrolet suburban to rollover 1 and 1/2 times. These tires were 21 months old, with approximately 45,000 miles on them. They were rotated every 3000 miles, the car was aligned every six months and I checked the pressure regularly. I had a tread separation with my previous cooper 30x950r15. The dealer said my load was excessive for the tire so I weighed my truck and he recommended the 1050r15s. The suburban did a great job of cradling us and fortunately we didn't hit anything on our tumble and slide into the median.

The first tire started losing big chunks of thread while driving on the freeway at 75mph. There was very little damage to the bottom of my vehicle at that time, and that's why I decided not to file a claim when I had the tire replaced. The second tire started making strange noises while driving in the city at 40 MPH. I went back to discount tire where I had bought the four tires to have it inspected. I was told that the thread was separating from the inside out. The tire was replaced at that moment. The third tire blew up while driving on the same freeway at 75 MPH. My wife was able to control the vehicle, avoiding an major accident. There was a $2,600 damage to the vehicle. While I was having that tire replaced I asked the discount tire manager to inspect the fourth and last desert dog tire I had left on my vehicle. He concluded that the tire was separating from the inside out too, and replaced it. Dt
