2008 Ford F-150: tire blowout or tread separation

Filed Nov 25, 2025 · Wheels · IA

Walmart Auto Center installed the incorrect tire size 255/70R17 on my factory setup with factory wheels. Westlake SU318 All Season 255/70R17 112T SUV/crossover tires were installed in place of the correct size 245/70R17 tires. Walmart is refusing to fix my truck and I had the brake lines blow out 3 weeks after installing the tires. I am a current threat to the public and myself driving with these incorrect tires. Walmart will not replace the tires. Walmart is attempting to coverup this by not providing the information to carfax. I have submitted a carfax update case#XXX.

I own a 2008 ford f-150 lariat which is lightly used and never carries a load.the tires on my truck dry rotted by 5/19/11 and had to be replaced. Mileage was 18369, cost to me was $362.00. Now the new tires have done the same thing. I do not haul cargo or drive at excessive speeds. My current mileage is 31944 which means this set lasted just over two years and 13575 miles. I am concerned about the issue of a blowout and losing control of the truck on the highway due to the rollovers with pickup trucks. I just watched an episode of motorweek that stressed the importance of keeping the steel belts out of the elements or they will fail badly and these tires are cracked in the tread where there is little to keep the steel covered. I don't know if there is a problem with this tire, but I'm not getting any service life out of a very expensive tire. It seems bf goodrich and ford think this is my problem, goodrich blames ozone for the problem, nobody will take responsibility. I now own a truck that I cannot in good conscience ride my grandchildren in. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I bought a new ford f 150 4x4 pickup 5/1/08 and have had 2 tires blow out. 1 turning around in a forest service camp ground and 1 on the freeway at 75 MPH. These tires have not been abused or mistreated in any way. The worst use they have seen is 20 miles at 35 MPH on an improved county gravel road.. I feel ford motor company made an error putting passenger rated tires on a light truck. Especially a four wheel drive. Out of safety concern, and just plain got tired of buying replacements, I've had to replace all 5 tires with lt tires rated for pickup use at a cost of $800. I would like to see some help in recovering my costs to get a tire I feel should have been on this vehicle in the first place. These tires are hankook p235 75 r17.
