| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was pulling my 24' goosneck kiefer trailer with my 1997 v10 dodge just west of des moines. i hear a loud poping noise and puller over to the side. a large section of the tire the size of a bowling ball was gone off the tread and the side wall. i drove to indianola, ia and had downey tie service replace the tire. they threw the tire in the junk as i thought i had hit something. in october i was pulling my trailer in illinois and had a total tread separation. my fender was beat to hell, all of the wiring on the passengers side was totally destroyed. it took 2.5 hours to get the trailer repaired on the road side to get it to a town to replace the tires. i went to taylorville, il and had the balance of tires replaced at larry's service center. (217-824-9060). he stated he thought there was a recall on goodyear wrangler ht tires but he is not a goodyear dealer. he put keely-springfield 10 ply tires on as i did not trust the goodyears as i had two total separations in 3 months. i have 4 of the 5 tires in my possession. i have notified goodyear and they want me to turn in the bad tires to them to see if they will honor my damage claim. i have not done this as i do not trust them. i figure they will get my tires and then turn my claim down. i await your response as to what nhtsa is going to do. |
