Tire blowout or tread separation by model year
What owners say
The right rear tire had a blowout while driving 70 MPH ( original equipment, tire size p265/70r16, dot# 25.4 0ffset)
While driving the rear passenger side tire blew out without warning . The dealer was notified ( size#p26570r16 and dot#pk72wdwr4001).
Purchased a new truck and four days later had a blow out on the right rear tire. I went to a local goodyear dealer and he said the tire was cut (appeared to from loading or unloading during transit). I am absolutely certain I did not run over anything large enough to leave a gash of that size. There was a four inch section that blew out of the tire and goodyear would only offer a discount on a new tire. It appears that goodyear is not concerned about the welfare of their customers, because they will not stand behind their product.
Rt rear tire exploded at highway speed of 65 MPH, dealer in lakewood nj said it was caused by puncture in tread, I disagree but can not proof otherwise.
