I was traveling down an interstate when a rear tire blew out. The tire is a toyo cross country a/t. He tire separated completely leaving the sidewalls on the rim and the tread & belts & rest of the tire tore off in one piece. Luckily, there was no accident/ injury. I looked up recalls and found there is a recall. I did not receive a notice. I have tried to contact toyo and been on hold for over an hour at a time, left message without return call. The tires have less than 20,000 miles on them. I am now very concerned about the safety of the three remaining tires. There was only minor property damage to the truck.

I am currently driving a 2005 toyota tacoma x runner. There are cracks across the treads of at least two of the four tires on the truck (bridgestone potenza tires). I went to a bridgestone shop and they told me to drive across the street and talk to the toyota dealership. The toyota dealership told me there was nothing they could do. I do not feel safe driving a vehicle with cracks across the entire tread face. I am not the only person with this problem, nearly all of the x runner drivers have the same problem; some of which get the tires replaced or get the run-around like myself. Please help me. I am a college student and I need safe transportation.

My concern is that the tires on oem tires on my vehicle (2005 toyota tacoma x-runner) are defective. I had a "split" in my tire and I took it to bridgestone and they said that they are aware of this problem and they replaced all of my tires, not just the problem one with no questions. Where my concern comes in is that I know other with the same vehicle as I have and they exact same problem, but the bridgestone rep. In their area is telling them that they don't know anything about this problem and they will not do anything about it. If the tire is unsafe and some area know about this and are fixing it why are not all the areas aware of this. I feel that they are knowingly putting lives at risk by allowing this to go on with no solution.

I have a 2005 toyota tacoma x-runner. I have tires that are splitting across the tread. It seem that every model of this truck is having the same problem and no recall is being done. Http://www.customtacos.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46086&page=17&highlight=tire I do not feel safe with my tires splitting. And no one seems to be trying to take care of this problem. My auto is only 8 months old, and I don't want to replace 5 $260 a tire out of my own pocket.
