| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: For the past few years i have been buying p225/70tr15 dunlop gtq rwl tires for my 1993 jeep grand cherokee as replacement tires. three out of the last 4 tires i have bought have developed a welt just off centerline of tread from the inside out. the first couple of times i didnt think much of it as the tire dealer told me i might have hit something a long time prior to welt developing and it is just showing up now. the first of those tires was replaced on 6/19/02 and the second was replaced on 8/26/02. after approximately 13,000 to 16,000 miles later this condition appeared again. i noticed a vibration in the car and confirmed that a welt had appeared in the tire just of centerline. i was on my way back from a business trip which was just 200 miles from my home and the tire disintegrated while i was traveling on the highway. i feel that this condition has happened entirely too often and it is with the same tire brand and type. i have not been to the tire dealer yet, but i did want to report this in case there is a problem and other people are reporting it also. thanks for your assistance.*ak |
