Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Tires shake, grind and make a pulsing noise when trying to stop.
While driving at speed (~70 mph) on the Interstate, while on a straightaway, the vehicle began to sway as if being pushed by wind or like being passed by a semi truck. The swaying continued for 10 to 20 seconds before the rear passenger tire sidewall suffered a sudden catastrophic failure which made steering the vehicle very difficult. I had not struck any significant road debris prior to this incident or taken the vehicle off-road since purchasing the tires. The vehicle was able to stop in the breakdown lane without losing control. There were no injuries or other incidents as a result of the tire failure. The driver replaced the tire with a spare. The tire repair shop replaced the failed tire under the manufacturers warranty. Approximate miles on the failed tire - ~5000 miles Length of service - < 4 months Tire Size - P 235 / 70 R 16
Tire pressure in all vehicle and trailer tires checked prior to departure on 270 mile trip. Driving 10 MPH under speed limit in right interstate lane when, without warning, sidewall of the hankook dynapro at/m tire blew out. Tire mounted on vehicle's right rear. No brake applied. Vehicle's rapid loss of speed and instability caused trailer to go out of control despite new antisway bar. Vehicle pulled/turned rapidly to the right, leaving the roadway traveling approximately 80' before coming to rest 90 to the roadway in the ditch. Trailer broke free from vehicle despite safety chains, antisway bar, and ball lever locked with padlock. Padlock body was broken by the breakaway as were the safety chains. Antisway bar received an approximately 30 curve to the braking bar (reese brand). Violent whipping motion (recorded on front and rear dashcam cameras and by witnesses) caused major damage to the rear of the vehicle when impacted by the trailer. Trailer received some front body damage. Failed tire has been retained. Spare tire installed on site. Tires were a set all with 8/32 tread. (new these tires had 11/32) tires were installed just under 2 years ago. I have installation invoice four 4 tire installation. Illinois state police responded immediately to investigate. Trooper crabtree.
I bought a goodyear tire for my jeep liberty and the tire failed and upon inspection there was a tear on the side wall of the tire which was unrepairable and had to be replaced . This is a defect in the tire and not from road hazards
My daughters were driving home and the rear tire slid on some gravel and it appeared she over corrected and they went over an embankment and rolled at least 8 to 10 times. At some point while they were rolling both of their seatbelts (both front seat)came unhooked and caused my youngest daughters head to hang out the window. People should know that this will or may occur in an accident of this type for their safety.
