I purchased a set of bf goodrich all terrain tires for my 1999 gmc yukon. The left rear tire had a blow out after I drove the car about 12 miles since the new tire was installed at the discount tire dealership in burien washington. The tire was a c load rated tire, size 265 16 r75. The entire sidewall of the tire blew out around the circumference of the sidewall. I have never seen a blow out with this characteristic. This was a very serious event and it occurred on a band new tire. The tire was defective and there are likely other tires with this same defect.

Dt: the contact bought goodyear wrangler tires in 2003. He had to take them back because of a blister on the outside walls. He returned them in 2004 , and they gave him the same exact tires that he had to pay for. Also, they blistered on the outside walls. He noticed this on 8-28-05. The dealer wanted to prorate the tires and give him the difference. The tires were prorated in 2004. On paper work it stated there was a manufacturer's defect in the tires.

I bought a new gmc yukon that came with bf goodrich long trail size p245/75 r16 new on the yukon. The summer of 2000 with around 12000 miles on the tires I had a blow out going around 70 on a rear tire. About a year ago I had one of the tires go bad/ had a bubble develop on the tread. This last weekend I had another tire develop a bubble on the tread. Last year the serial number from the bad tire was ap70hk11478. The blowout I did not get the serial number and the one over the last weekend I have not got the number from that tire at this time.

The complete tire id is 31520exbm2030t-2. The tire seperated in the sidewall at 70 MPH on a strait rural highway at 60f temperature. I was able to control the vehicle enough to pull off the side of the road and replace the tire without incident. Just thought I should report it. There is almost no visable wear on the tire prior to the blowout. Dt

Vehicle was traveling at posted speed, when tire belt separated. Belt caught up in fender well and locked both rear wheels, causing vehicle to swerve left and roll several times. My wife and I are fortunate to be alive. Bf goodrich claims no responsibility, due to their inspection of the tire they noted a puncture. I wonder how many thousand of tires out there have a nail or foriegn object in them right now, that will cause the b.f.goodrich tire to fail and cause serious injury or death. It would be nice to be able to try and recover damages, but I can't afford an attorney, and of course bf goodrich takes no responsiblity. *ak (dot number: ap70hk1145 tiresize: p245/75r16)
