Have had 2 sets of bfgoodrich 285/75/16 122r d tires that have failed with separation problems. The first set that failed 05/11, we had blowout accident on interstate causing over $3000 damage to driver front. Luckily no personal injuries bf goodrich replaced the tires at 100%, same tires. The second set have same separation problems as of 03/15, at approx. 30000 miles on 60000 mile tires. The tire kingdom store advised unsafe to drive and said these tires were manufactured at same time the recalls were. He called the recall# and was advised to replace at 100% so we replaced them with the michelin 285's. Now we are being told the bf goodrich recall office will only pay 70% on the new tires. That is unacceptable for this serious defect in these tires. It does appear the warranty doesn't really address manufacturer defects.this defect is not due to wear, tear or consumer fault. Had the defect not been in the tire, the tires would still be in good working order without danger of failure that occurred. We feel these tires are unsafe and we have asked bfgoodrich to replace with different tire at 100% since we do not feel we should be responsible for what appears to be manufacturer defect.

We had purchased 4 tbc wild country radial xtx sport tires which were manufactured during a recent recall period. The tires were replaced with a new set in may 'o8 that we were told were manufactured after the dates of the recall period. We just noticed cracks in the sidewalls of these newer tires (we have approx. 34,000 miles on the tires). We are not certain when these cracks may have appeared, or at what mileage. My wife took the vehicle back to the tire dealer (les schwab tire center in redmond, or) the dealer said that the tires have sidewall separation (which I believe is what the problem was with the tires that were the subject of the last recall), that the cause is from running the tires under the recommended pressure and that they are willing to prorate the tires. We have the tire pressure checked every couple of months with an oil change, so the tires were not running under pressure for the entire time we have had them, and of course we are not certain if they were all actually "under pressure" today, or we were just told that. I would like to know if you have had any other reports of this problem re-surfacing with this particular tire.

2 yokohama geolander at tires with less than 30,000 miles had tread separation causing $7000 worth of body damage. The separations were separate occasions within 3 weeks of each other. First failure was on a freeway at approx 65 MPH. A sudden severe vibration followed by a tread separation of the right rear tire. A lot of body noise was happening as the not-quite-separated tread flailed around the wheelwell as was slowing and caused significant damage to body and rear bumper. Second occasion was approx 3 weeks later while pulling a 5 horse trailer with 2 horses on board. This occurrence also was on a freeway at approx 60mph. While driving downhill and rounding a right hand turn, the left rear tire tread separated and caused a swerve into the lane to the left before slowing and regaining control of the vehicle. Both tire casing appeared to have failed in the same way and they were purchased and mounted together so had exactly the same mileage on them.
