On nov.2007 I purchased 4 bridgestone dueler h/t 684ii , p245/70/r16 tires for my jeep cherokee limited. The car had 67,000 miles on it. In sept 2010 I took the car into sts for the 4th time for a balance and wheel alignment, as the car always pulled to the left since I put the tires on. The car now has 97,000 miles on it and the treads are worn on the side of the tires not the middle or inside side. Sts is now saying I need new tires. Why did they only wear on the outer side of the tire and not in the middle or other side. For the money I paid, these tires are a piece of junk. I have had bf goodrich and had tires much longer than these.

A new goodyear wrangler rt/s tire (not at/s as shown on your pulldown menu), disintegrated while traveling on I-81 in virginia at approximate 65 MPH. The tire was one of two wrangler rt/s tires installed on the front of the vehicle earlier in the week at chandler's auto repair in herndon, va. The driver maintained control and pulled the vehicle (1996 jeep grand cherokee) safely to the side of the road. I checked the inflation before we departed on our trip and it was 34 lbs. The occupants in the vehicle reported seeing no objects on the road, potholes or other road hazards--just a sudden pop and then pieces of black material flying by the vehicle. I do not have the remnants of the tire, which was replaced at the wal-mart in staunton, va, but I do have photographs taken at the site. The failure occurred immediately north of exit 225 (southbound) on I-81. This is approximately 160 miles from our home. Allowing for a few errands before departing on our trip, I doubt the tire had more than 200-225 miles on it before it failed. The weather was fair and dry and the air temperature 86 f. I-81 is smooth and in excellent condition at the location of the failure. While I did not report the failure to the police, a virginia state safety patrol vehicle stopped and may have a record. The tread was relatively intact but appears to have separated from the rest of the tire.
