Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)The tire is a Cooper (Discoverer/Rigged Trek) 35x12.50R20LT. The tire is unreadable as it ripped off the bead. While driving, a sudden pop suddenly occurred and smoke began to appear. I pulled over and realized the entire tire popped/blew up. No accident, it was at 35mph approximately. The vehicle has not been inspected yet as I am typing this while waiting for a tow truck.
THE WHEELS ON MY TRUCK ARE CRACKING AND BREAKING. THEY ARE 20X8 INCH FORGED ALUMINUM FACTORY INSTALLED OEM EQUIPMENT. THIS IS THE SECOND WHEEL I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE AT A VERY EXPENSIVE COST. THE FIRST ONE I THOUGHT MAY HAVE BEEN A FLUKE AS MY TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN IMPACTED AT THE TIRE OR WHEEL AREAS.I HAVE DONE A LITTLE RESEARCH AND I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS FROM MANY TRUCK OWNERS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUE.I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY FOR MANY YEARS AND I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS ISSUE. THIS ISUUE CAN AND WILL HAPPEN WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR MOVING, MORE PROBABLE WHILE IN MOTION. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE TRUCK HAD 80000 MILES ON IT.
TIRE BEGAN TO SHIMMY, PULLED OVER FOUND NOTHING WRONG, 25 MILES LATER TIRE BLEW AT HIGHWAY SPEED CAUSING LOSE OF CONTROL. TIRE BELTS DID EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. SAME TIRE AS NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 15T-061 BUT MANUFACTURED 4 MONTHS PRIOR TO EARLIEST RECALL PRODUCTION DATE.
SO FAR 3 OF 4 TIRES HAVE LOST THEIR SHAPE BY BELT SEPARATION. THEY ALL WENT AROUND 25 THOUSAND MILES.
PURCHASED BF GOODRICH TIRES FROM DISCOUNT TIRE 2 YEARS AGO, WITH 21000 MILES ON THE TIRES ONE TIRE HAD TREAD SEPARATION WHICH WAS REPLACED WITHOUT INCIDENT IN AUGUST 2015. IN OCTOBER 2015, WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH DOWN HILL ON I-17 FROM SUNSET POINT THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE TREAD SEPARATED CAUSING A NEAR ACCIDENT. THE TIRE CAUSED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL WELL AND HAD TO OBVIOUSLY BE CHANGED. TIRE WAS REPLACED BY DISCOUNT. PROBLEM LIES IN THE FACT THAT WE BOUGHT FOUR TIRES ALL FROM THE SAME STOCK. WE ANTICIPATE SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE REMAINING TWO BUT ARE NOT WILLING TO RISK OUR LIVES TO FIND OUT WHEN THEY WILL SEPARATE AND GO FLAT ON US. WE ARE NOW FORCED TO BUY TWO NEW TIRES AT FULL VALUE OUT OF FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN AS WE TRANSPORT OUR GRANDCHILDREN OFTEN AND HAVE PLANS TO TAKE OUR TRAVEL TRAILER OUT. THE BF GOODRICH TIRES ARE 275/65 R20 (BEOT UH11 0212).
