| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I experienced an unexplainable vibration in my vehicle 2 days prior to my tire ( uniroyal radial trail king a/t 31-10.50/r15) having a tread separation/blowout on my truck. when attempting to search for where i could obtain a replacement , i found a recall ( nhtsa campaign id # 91t001000) for these tires. i contacted the manufacturer uniroyal who instructed me to go to sears & roebuck automotive. i was then informed by sears that they do not deal in uniroyal tires and could not help me. i then re-contacted uniroyal and was told that they could not find this recall even though i could supply them with the nhtsa campaign id. i was then told that it was irrelevant because my tires are over 6 yrs old anyway ( * these tires were stored in like "new" condition, dew to my deployment in the military). i experienced this blowout within only a few hundred miles after remounting them ( this can be told by the extreme amount of tread that is on the tires , regardless of there manufacture date. this vehicle still has three more of these tires on it and i am concerned that this could happen again. this was not a simple flat tire, this tire exploded and tread separated similar to how a tractor trailer tire violently blows. these are not the original tires that came on this truck , my complaint is against uniroyal not the car manufacturer. *jb |
