Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 1999 lincoln navigator 2wd with general ameritrac tr tires. tire size p245/75/16 and the tires have maybe 50% wear on them. i have had both rear tires blow out on the freeway at two different times. i know that i didn't hit anything. also in both tire failures i first noticed tire vibration, then noise, then the tire blew out. when i first noticed the vibration i was traveling on the freeway at approximately 65 to 70 mph and when the tire finally blew out i was traveling about 55 mph. i have four general ameritrac tr tires in my possession except for the first tire that blew out a couple of months ago. the tires are no longer on my vehicle since i feel they are very unsafe. *nm
