I bought Achilles desert hawk uhp 285/50/R20 tires in late 2019 from Walmart . and had them mounted in 2020 from discount tire. Within 10 months of tires being mounted I had a vibration and it was getting worse every day so I started looking at it and found I had a separated tire on the driver's side front. I put my spare on and contacted Walmart which told me sorry for your luck and there is nothing they can or will do.so I contacted discount and they said to contact Achilles tire. I did and never heard back from them. I then forgot about it until roughly 5 months ago when passenger tire was separated. Then 3 days ago the passanger rear separated and now today the driver's rear has separated. I understand 1 tire possibly 2, but to have all 4 tires separate in less than 2 years and in under 10,000 miles is mind blowing to me..I have all the tires and I filed a complaint with Walmart and Achilles after the 2nd one. I honestly don't think it's discount tires responsibly. I only had them install tires because walmart would make excuse after excuse and I got fed up with it. There should be some sort of liability to the manufacturer and to Walmart. I am asking you if it's possible to look into this. 4 tires separate in 2 years you ée⁷⁷e77⁷e⁷

While driving at 55 MPH in heavy (bumper to bumper) traffic on a 4 lane highway, I had a gut feeling to get off that main road so, I took a right onto a small country road. Not even a mile down the road there was a loud thump from the back of the tahoe - sounded as though the bumper fell off and hit the road. Looked through my rearview mirror and saw something shoot straight back (would have been even with a car's windshield) and the thing curved up and went oven an embankment. Husband got out while I looked under the back of tahoe - the spare tire had broken loose and it was the tire that went down the embankment. The bracket holding it had broken. Had I stayed on the main highway, the tire would have shot through the car's windshield behind me and chances are 100% the person would have been decapitated. Took the tahoe to the dealer first thing monday morning and they fixed it. Telling me they had never seen anything like this before. This tahoe had about 50,000 miles, never been off road, never towed, never abused, and never bottomed out. My tahoe is 2001 and just turned 122,000 miles - don't do a lot of driving and I keep it serviced. Do take care of what I own. Just in case you own a 2001 tahoe, may want to have the bracket checked. Mine had just snapped - there was no rust - nothing that would cause this. Than goodness no one was hurt/killed. Last year the tahoe had a bent rod, front end bracket/tie rod broken, transmission would not go out of 4wd, had it in the shop - all problems have come back- I spent over 4,000.00 and I'm not spending anymore - this tahoe just turned 122,000 miles. What the heck. I take good care of all my cars and this on just keeps having problems. (I'd have to find the list from the shop - but I have no more money to fix it or buy another - and I just love this thing :(

Goodyear silent armor tire is prematurely failing in its sidewall and / the continuity of the product's integrity is compromised. This has already LED to a premature blowout in the highway (defined as the exact same reason for the current goodyear silent armor recall and nevada lawsuit) and can be seen on two of the 3 remaining tires. The only exception is that this was on a tires produced in 05-10 (one of them) and 11/10 (one of them). I took pictures of the blown tire and of the remaining tires awaiting an opportunity to provide to consul.

I was stopped at a traffic light and when I accelerated the spare tire hoist cable broke due to fraying causing the spare tire to fall from underneath the truck. The driver behind me ran over the spare. Fortunately, I had just began to pull off so speed was not a factor and there was no damage to the other vehicle or person.

I had to replace two valve stems on four tires purchased at bergey tire service, lansdale pa on 8/21/2007. The first replacement was july 3, 2010. When the second one was done, july 21, 2010, the mechanic told me about the problem with the chinese made rubber valve stems. I had just driven 90 miles to the seashore by myself (I am a 69 year old woman), and I shudder to think what would have happened if the tire had gone flat while I was driving 65 MPH on the turnpike. Luckily I found the tire flat the day after I arrived. I am grateful that the mechanic told me about the valve problem so that I can get the rest of the tire valves checked.

Spare tire missing. I believe the cable snapped and the spare tire fell off while vehicle was in motion creating a danger to other vehicles. I do not know if this caused a crash or injury to other drivers. I do not have a date of the incident.

I was on the 10 freeway going approximately 70 MPH, I felt my car starting to shake. I moved over to the slow lane and at that time the tire tread on my left rear tire came completely off and did significant damage to the left rear side. I called aaa to have the tire changed and when the technician arrived he check the air pressure which was 37 lbs. My spare was placed on my vehicle and I drove home. I contacted americas tire co. (I had taken my car in march 2008 to prepare for a trip and they rotated and balanced my tires and I was given the o.k.) I told the manager of my problem and he referred me to copper tire co. I was sent a claim package and was told to mail the tire back for inspection. On july 10 I received a letter from which stated our claim was denied. The reasons where because our tire had a loose patch plug repair and was underinflated. They are saying due to the puncture, which there isn't one because it was repaired in 2006, the tire failed. I called americas tire and told them what crawford had said about the repair and they told me that they follow calif. Law when doing a tire repair. I was also told the patch would not cause a separation of the tread, that is caused by a company defect. Crawford claims that they tested the tire and refuse to provide me with any information. My tire was repaired in oct. Of 2006, if this was the case my tread would have separated a long time ago. It appears crawford is using this as an excuse not to pay the over $2,000 worth of damage to my car. Crawford claims when a flat tire is repaired with a patch it affect the integrity of the tire. This is nothing more than an excuse for crawford and cooper to not pay for the damaged to my car. I also have noticed that pro comp has had problems with the same style all terrain tire no. Lt265/75r16 that I currently have on my vehicle so this is not the first time they have had problems with tread separation with cooper tires.
