2008 Ford F-250 SD tires problems

Filed Jul 31, 2019 · Tires · FL

We own a 2008 ford f-250 super duty truck with bf goodrich rugged terrain t/a tires. On or about 7/5/15, the passenger side rear tire developed tread failure as a portion of the tire tread began peeling off while travelling on I-75. A spare tire was put on and the tire was replaced and a warranty claim was submitted as it was still under tread warranty. On or about 8/21/15, the drivers side rear tire experienced complete tire failure while traveling on I-95, which caused nearly $3000.00 in damage to the truck. There is currently a recall on the bf goodrich rugged terrain t/a tires but not for the 20 inch tires which are the ones described here. We feel that the 20 inch tires need to be investigated for possible recall as well. These tires only had 37,667 miles on them and were purchased new from ford on 7/23/12. This tire failure nearly caused a serious accident which could of lead to death or serious injury. I have documentation showing the tires have been regularly maintained/inflated and rotated.

3/13 I bought a set of federal couragia mt 35x12.50x20 tires and 10 months later the steel belts separated causing tire failure. 2/14 I bought another set of the same tires and they separated after 8 months. Dot4113 is the serial number of the second set of tires. I do not have the serial number for the first set. I would not recommend these tires to anyone and what do I have to do to get compensated because federal will not get back in touch with me.

My complaint regards a defective continental contitrac lt275/65r18 tire on a 2008 ford f250 super duty pick-up. One of the original oem tires developed a shifted belt / separation at 43,910 miles w/ 9/32" of tread left on the tire. Continental has an ongoing voluntary recall program for lt275/70r18 tires on 2008 to 2009 ford f250 and f350 vehicles. The defect in my tire is also one of the defects listed for the lt275/70r18 tire recall. I believe continental has additional tires outside of the dot date code which, may not meet continental's performance expectations in the field and may warrant an additonal review for safety by the federal safety agency.
