What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 gmc sierra 800 (na) equipped with yokohama geolandar a/t-s tires, size: lt 285/75/r16 (na). While driving approximately 65 MPH, the front end of the vehicle shook and the front passenger side tire blew out. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The tire was replaced with the spare. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the warranty was expired. The approximate vehicle failure mileage was 101,793 and the tire failure mileage was 14,000.
2004 gmc sierra 1500 sle. Goodyear wrangler p255 70r16 dot mdcuc6hr 5211. Tires have approximately 25k miles on them. Left rear tire blew due to tread separation. Visually inspected tires and checked pressure on all tires before a long road trip. Tire blew without warning and am now nervous about the remaining tires. Was on interstate 10 at approx 70mph when tire blew, luckily no one was next to me as the rear end of the truck fishtailed into the next lane. Was able to pull over safely and put on a spare.
Tire separation.
Driving on freeway at speed limit of 75 MPH on rural freeway when right rear tire separated and blew. There was nothing the driver hit or ran over. It just blew out almost causing a very bad accident.
I bought new gmc sierrra in mid 2004, truck equipped with goodyear wrangler st. Truck exhibits very poor wet traction and excessive tire wear. When tire was approximately at 18,000 miles had serious spin out on i75 south of tampa in lite rainy condition. Since then noticed tire spin on slightest wet roads, even has trouble pulling out of car washes. This is dangerous tire and should not be instilled on large vehicles. Tire is down to wear marks and only has 28000 miles. Tires have been rotated and maintained only by gm dealers. Goodyear dealer states this tire should not have been installed on full size trucks, it will wear excessively and may lead to blowout. Dealership won't do anything and goodyear states it is not covered by warranty because it was original equipment installed by manufacturer.
