| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I had 2 failures with the first about 9/21/07 and the second 10/6/07. the vehicle is a 1991 f250 hd and is occasionally used to haul a slide-in camper. on both occasions i had the camper on the truck, loading the truck to near the rated capacity of the tires but not over to my knowledge. in both instances the tire pressure was checked before leaving the house, were we traveling a moderate speed, about 55 mph, and it was cool. in both cases i noticed a vibration but before i could effect a substantial response the tire exploded. the truck remained in control but there was substantial damage to the truck. the tires were on the rear so there was damage to both sides. the first time i had the tire replaced by the dealer and he gave me over a 50% credit, reflecting the amount of tread left on the tire. the second time i had the tire replaced with a different brand and kept the old tire for inspection. *tr |
