I purchased a set of four tires from costco.com in february of 2006[1]. They were delivered to and installed at my local costco tire center. On 28 aug 2009, I experienced a tire failure while driving on the freeway that was determined to be the result of its valve stem separating at the base and leading to rapid deflation at highway speeds. This was a novel failure mode to me, but I initially chalked it up to bad luck and had the tire replaced under warranty at costco. Exactly one week later, I suffered yet another tire failure at highway speed for a different tire. The cause, as with the first failure, was again that the valve stem had separated at the base. Suspicious of the coincidence, a search of the federal safety agency/dot databases revealed that a recall had been issued in may of 2008 for the model of valve stem installed in the tires that had failed[2]. The costco tire center manager I spoke with confirmed that the recalled valve stems were the same models used by their tire center. Because of the date of purchase/installation of my tires, the valve stems that were installed on my vehicle precedes and is not covered by the recall however.

Have had 2 instances with cracked and splitting sidewalls occurring on bf goodrich 195/60 r15 touring t/a tires about a year after they went into service. First time it occurred on 2 tires which were replaced on or about march 2003. Now the replacement tires have a split sidewall 1 year later. Replacing them with another brand of tire before a fatal accident does occur due to a blowout.
