My recently purchased vee rubber a/t tire blew up with a loud bang sunday morning parked in the driveway, thankfully, and not on the road. I just bought four tires from simple tire on 07/07/2016 and only put 200 miles on them. It appears to me like an air leak developed near the tread/sidewall area and delaminated the sidewall from the inner liner and blew out near the bead. Tires: vee rubber taiga a/t lt285/75r-16 r 126/123r the only date code marking I see is 0316?

My third uniroyal liberator tire has failed in the same manner as the two before. This is my third complaint concerning these defective tires. These tires all failed in the same exact manner (tread/tire separation) and all within weeks or months of each other. The tread pulled loose from the carcass,causing a bump-imbalance. I recognized the failure and was able to drive home where I changed to a spare. I later replaced this tire. This tire only have about 37,000 miles. Walmart,where I purchased the tires,refuses to give any type of warranty or tire credit and no longer carry this tire. This tire had plenty of tread and was well within its life span. This liberator tire should be recalled and pulled off the market because of its consistent failure rate. I have sent complaints to uniroyal with no response. Please have a recall before someone gets killed or injured. These things are junk.
