275/60/20 tire size. Driving home the other night started noticing my truck felt wobbly. Thought it was just the road until the truck started violently shaking at around 60mph. VIOLENTLY shaking. Pulled off immediately and looked at the front, sides, rear end, etc. Checked the tires, rear passenger side was stolen in 1 spot, and around that spot in a very isolated area the tire was completely bald and had a large lump in it. Other 3 tires seem ok right now. Contacted manufacturer who directed me to fill out a form on their website to "try for a replacement.". Can't find receipts from purchase so that's no good. Took to local mechanic/tire shop who stated that the "tread separated from the tire.". Separation is approximately 1 foot long and 2/3 of the tire width. Bald spot runs along this lump/separation.

I was traveling on highway 2 in washington state, at 60 MPH when my ford f150 front passenger tire blew out causing the truck to pull toward the ditch. No one was hurt. I changed my tire and contacted the tire company where the warranty would be honored. I had 30,000 miles on a 2 year old truck. I thought something would be done about it but nothing was. I am concern about my remaining tires I have on my truck.
2012 ford f-150. Consumer writes in regards to issues with the vehicle spare tire. *smd the consumer stated it wasn't until he had a flat tire, that he was introduced to the term full-size dis-similar spare and the restrictions ford stipulated. Driving speed, towing a trailer, or even washing the vehicle with the spare on it in a commercial wash, would violate the warranty, he paid for. The consumer was informed by the tire technician, the radius of the original tires were 39,9 inches and the radius of the dis-similar spare was 39.1 inches. Further, that prolonged use of the spare could and most probably would affect the mechanical operation of the transfer case.
Purchased a new 2012 f150 with michelin ltx a/t2 tires 12000 miles and I noticed that they were dry rot between the tread lugs took back to dealer had them replaced now around 12000 mi. Later have same problem dry rot cracking between lugs and on sidewall I believe this tire has a problem and michelin needs to recall them before some innocent person is injured or killed. How many times are we going to replace something defective with something defective.
