Tire blowout or tread separation by model year
What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2003 dodge ram 1500 equipped with goodyear wrangler authority tires, size: lt265/70r17 (na). The contact discovered that the front driver and passenger side tires experienced tread separation and excessive wear, which caused the steel belts to become exposed. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The contact indicated that the failure occurred on two previous tires of the same make and model vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The tire failure mileage was 100,000 and vehicle failure mileage was 100,592.
The side walls of all the tires that came with the truck are unzippering around the sidewall near the writing. It is in a circular path all the way around the tires. The tires are properly inflated. I have seen the same damage to other truck tires of the same style. I was told by good year it is normal for this to happen. The left front tire was removed for safety reasons. I was told it was in danger of a sidewall blow out. It will not even hold air. It leaks out of the crack.
Tire exploded no warning on interstate 95 in ga.
Dear sir, I recently purchased 2 tires from www.tirerack.com within the last month and had them mounted and balanced by an authorized dealer. Last night I had a complete tire failure while on the expressway which could have been fatal. The tire that failed had less than 100 miles on it and was checked the day before for proper tire inflation. This tire failure could have cost me as well as my family, our lives. I will not purchase the same goodyear tire again. The tire that failed was a goodyear eagle ls 275/55/r20 any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
