Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Driving on an interstate highway, the tread separated from the tire around the entire circumference. failure was instantaneous and explosive. minor damage was sustained to the vehicle from tire debris. control was maintained as the tire was one of dual rear tires. i contacted both my local ford dealer and firestone dealer, but they showed no interest. i am still in possession of the failed tire, but no longer have the remaining tires as i replaced them. the tread depth of the failed tire and the remaining original tires was very good, although i don't recall the exact measurement. a goodyear dealer evaluated the tires, and recommended not changing the tires based on their condition. i only did so as a precaution.*ak (tiresize: lt225/75r1)( dot number: tire size: lt225/75r1 ) |
