I have a 1999 lincoln navigator 2wd with general ameritrac tr tires. Tire size p245/75/16 and the tires have maybe 50% wear on them. I have had both rear tires blow out on the freeway at two different times. I know that I didn't hit anything. Also in both tire failures I first noticed tire vibration, then noise, then the tire blew out. When I first noticed the vibration I was traveling on the freeway at approximately 65 to 70 MPH and when the tire finally blew out I was traveling about 55 MPH. I have four general ameritrac tr tires in my possession except for the first tire that blew out a couple of months ago. The tires are no longer on my vehicle since I feel they are very unsafe.

On june 30, 2006, we were traveling in a 1999 lincoln navigator from arkansas to texas. Our tire tread totally separated from the wheel as we were going down the highway at 60 miles an hour. Luckily no one was hurt. We had the tire replaced at a cost of $313.01. This is exactly the same problem we had with wilderness at tires, which were recalled. We believe this tire should be eligible for recall. The tire is contienental trac at, p255-75r17-1138, dot #ad90448477.

(1) nothing before it happened. (2) I was driving to work at 10:50 pm and as I made a right hand turn into the parking lots at about 5-10 MPH, I heard a clank and bump bump. I turned and saw nothing and slowly moved forward where I saw a tire in the road behind me. I turned around and went back and saw it was a good tire and rim about the size I had on my car. I looked under my car and to my suprise my spare was gone. I picked up the tire and metal bracket that held it. I could not find anything else. The next day in daylight I looked under my car and found that the cable that holds the spare tire was broken at the point where it came out of the bracket. (3) I took the car to my local dealer and he didn't look at the car but said he had never heard of this happening before. I asked him to fix it free and pass this info up the ladder as this was a serious accident waiting to kill someone. I told him the day before I had been driving on the interstate @70 MPH and if it came off then I was sure I could have killed someone. He said I was lucky, but he couldn't fix it for free and my car was 5 years old. I told him this was a safety issure and the spare tire had never been put on the car. Nothing he could do but gave me an 800 number to call. I did and got nowhere with them either, I did get a reference # 0420083070. I'm almost scared to drive the car, as the spare tire could come off and kill someone.
