Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Bought 6-10ply heavy duty truck tires for my ford 350, dually, diesel truck & i rotated them every 6 months. when i was in a mall, a passer-by stopped me to tell me my left front tire, on the inside had a huge bubble in it. when i looked, it was around 8 to 10 in. around & when i stopped, it did not go down, it stayed there. i only had them for about 2 yrs. i bought them from a & k tires on moody blvd., in flagler beach, fl. 32136 goodyear would not even pro-rate them, i had to buy another tire. now, i am afraid the other 5 will do the same & as a retiree, i can't afford to buy 6 tires every two years for my truck. i am afraid another bubble will come up on the other tires, but i am stuck with them. if it had blown out on the expressway, there could have been a serious accident, but thanks to a concerned passerby, there was no accident. hope i am that lucky again, if the other tires go out too. *jb
