| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Background: original general tires on 2003 f350 dual-tire truck, approx 30,000 miles. tire size is lt235/85r16. 1 week prior to incident, all tires were rotated, balanced and pressure was per manufacture specs at local tire store. failure: after driving approx. 1 mile from home, left-outer rear tire tread separated from belts damaging light wiring, and destroying fender well. (pictures can be sent if desired). tire was sent to manufacturer. tire did retain air and did not blow since it was a double tire area. tire was removed by owner after reducing tire pressure as a safety precaution. since we were unsure if another tire separation was upcoming , we have removed all 6 tires and replaced them with another brand. estimates have been completed at the local repair shop to replace fender well and wiring. luckily no other vehicles were hit by the flying debris, nor were any injuries incurred. *nm |
