Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Purchased 4 tires 12/17/98 @129,217miles. tires were 50,000 mile warranty. had tires rotated and balanced seven(7) times between purchase date and failur date of 8/21/00 tires still had 6-7/32 of rubber on tread when 3 out of 4 tires had the tread seperate from the casing. tires completely failed with plenty of rubber still left. i drive 35,000-40,000 miles a year all road milage. on every previous set of tires i have gotten 10,000-15,000 additional miles, even though they were rated at 50,000. i do not feel the tires shoud have a complete failure with this much tread left on them. had i not taken car in for normal rotation and balance, and the dealer pointed out the tread seperation instead of on interstate 4 the out come may have been very different. 3 out of the tires could have come apart at 70 miles per hour, and quite frankly could have had a terrible accident.( dot number: tire size: 20565sr15 )
