Traveling north on hwy 97 in north central oregon. Felt a slight vibration, quickly checked mirrors and road surface...a few seconds later the driver's side rear tire exploded. We were traveling at 55 MPH on a straight section of the highway, no traffic around in either direction. I eased the truck on to the right shoulder and stopped the vehicle. I changed the tire, cleaned the pieces of tire off the highway and continued to our home approx. 50 miles away. I contacted my insurance company (pemco in seattle, wa) I was told that bfgoodrich would be contacting me to inspect the tire, but as of april 24 I have not heard from them. This if the first tire failure with this truck.

The contact pulled the vehicle over and replaced the tire with a spare. On september 5, 2008, while driving approximately 60 MPH on an elevated road, the front passenger side tire blew out.

After regaining control of the vehicle, the contact pulled over to the side of the road and changed the tire with another spare. The vehicle sustained front end damage.

Continental tire on a ford f350 truck came apart. Consumer states that the tire is still under warranty and came apart for no apparent reason. *nj the manufacturer sent the consumer a letter stating the damaged tire did not reveal any material and/or workmanship related conditions. The consumers truck was damaged as a result of the tire tread separating.
The tread came the tire, like a cheap recap. The tire never lost pressure, just the tread, causing 2,200. Dollars damage to my truck.
