Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The right rear tire tread separated from the tire at 50 mph. the tire stayed inflated however the tread caused minor damage to the rear bumber and right rear wheel well panel. fortunate for me i was able to maintain control of the truck and bring it to a stop with out injury to anyone else or myself. there was evidence of abnormal wear and no visual defects were noted on the tire prior to the failure. i'm a commercial "transport category" aircraft mechanic so i do know how to inspect tires and understand the importance of preventative maintenance. and still this happen to me, there is a dangerous problem with these tires. please get them off the roads before someone is killed.*ak |
