I was driving on the ih-93 nb at 55 MPH. Suddenly the car began pulling to the right. I stopped and checked the tires, but did not see any problems. All four tires were inflated to the specs (35 psi). I kept driving, and after 20-25 miles I heard a sound as if something was rubbing in the front passenger fender area. I began slowing down and wanted to stop. At that moment my front right tire separated. It was a primewell valera ht 235/75-15 tire, installed at a firestone shop in plaistow, nh in november, 2014 with a few hundred miles on it.

What 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Consumer was driving approximately 65 MPH when the tires tread came off. B.f. Goodrich, radial, long trail t/a, p245/75r16. They replaced tire with a spare tire. About 10 miles down the road the same thing happened with the spare tire.
I purchased 4 goodyear wrangler rt/s p245/75r16 three years ago.they now have approx. 35000 miles on them.today I noticed cracks on all 4 tires about an inch from the rim around the entire tires,on both sides.*ak their is no dought to me that this ia a factory defect and should be replaced at no cost to me..
The second tire in four weeks had a tread seperation. The first was found at sears automotive when I took vehicle back due to tire vibration. They pro-rated the tire and replaced it. Four weeks later, another tire seperated at 70 MPH on the interstate causing some body damage to the left rear of the vehicle. I now have a third tire vibrating at 35 MPH and at 70 MPH. This cannot be safe. I am meticulous about maintaining my tire pressrue at the manuf. Suggested pressure.
Firestone steeltex radial tires p245 75 r16 experienced tread separation.
Nankang tires p225 75 r15 experienced tread separation, causing damage to motor home, consumer wants reimbursement.
Initially experienced tread seperation during annual check in oct 99. Replaced tire and put trailer in storage. In july when taking the trailer out of storage, the "new" tire tread just peeled off. I towed the unit to the trailer dealer, rv traders, for correction. The dealer upon further inspection noted that the remaing oem tires (3), with approx 10,000 miles, were also starting to seperate. I was about to go on vacation, so had to install (4) new tires (goodyear). Rv traders in contact with the tire manufacturer agreed to re-imburse me at $50.00 per tire after I sent a letter to the manu describiong the circumstances. This I did on july 21, 2000. I have yet to hear from the manufacturer in chelsea, ma.( dot number: cfkcmt2389 tire size: st205/75r1 )
Passenger's side front tire rubs against the frame of the truck when turning the wheel to the right. This causes a loss of steering control. Dealer has seen vehicle, cannot remedy problem
Tires failed (goodyear 15").
Original tires goodrich p 245/75r 16 are insufficient for towing, too weak to withstand pressure.
