GT Radial Adventuro AT3, 275/70R-18 Load Range E The tire exploded at 65mph while pulling a trailer. I still have what is left of it. The debris flying off the vehicle into traffic and the need to pull completely off the road. The sharp reduction of speed in traffic on a 4 lane divided highway. The tire has not been inspected by any official or company. I had purchased hazard insurance from Walmart when I bought the tires. They refused to honor the coverage due to the tire having no tread. The 2nd tire, purchased at the same time, was on the drivers side, but they refused to consider the tread remaining on that tire as an example of the blowouts previous tread. I have an active TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) on the truck and no alarms went off prior to the explosion. It did alarm after the explosion. It is also mounted, where I as the driver, can monitor it. The blowout severely damaged my truck. My insurance indicates they will cover the cost of repairs after my deductible, but not replacement of the tires. My 2 million miles operating my own semi causes me to believe the tire was manufactured in a defective manner. I have never seen, or recall a non-retread tire shedding ALL of it's tread. Recaps generally will. I have contacted Walmart Corporate and Giti Tire. Neither has responded. Lucky only my truck was damaged and the highway scattered with debris for other travelers to encounter!
The contact owns a 2007 Ford F-350 equipped with Nitto tires, Tire Line: Dura Grappler, Tire Size: 275/65/18, DOT number: EAW2215. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle there was an abnormal sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. Upon inspection it was discovered that the driver’s side rear tire had experienced tread separation. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the tires were not included in NHTSA campaign number: 14T014000 (Tires) due to the manufacturing date of the tire. The contact indicated that the tire had experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The manufacture was not yet notified. The failure mileage was 30,000. Consumer stated thread separation happened with the second tire 2 weeks later. Manufacture was notified and all 4 tires have now been replaced prematurely.
THE VERY EXPENSIVE RIMS HAVE A LARGE CRACK IN AT LEAST ONE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT OF COURSE THEY ARE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I CALLED THE FORD CUSTOMER CARE UNIT AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING. WHEN I ASKED TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE ABOUT INVESTIGATING THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO ONE I COULD TALK TO. MANY OTHER FORD OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE AND GETTING THE RESPONSE THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND NOTHING PENDING. I REALLY FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH SO MANY OCCURRING AND FEEL IT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I DISCOVERED MY RIM FAILURE RIGHT AFTER I RETURNED FROM A TRIP TO COLORADO, HAULING MY CAMPER. IF IT HAD FAILED DURING THIS TRIP I FEEL CERTAIN MY SON AND I WOULD NOW BE DEAD. PLEASE HELP US IN GETTING FORD TO LOOK INTO THIS FURTHER. EVERYONE WHO HAS GONE TO A DEALER OR CALLED FORD IS BEING TOLD THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF AN ISSUE AND THIS IS JUST NOT TRUE. CHECK THE WEBSITE WWW.NCFMA.ORG/NEWS/2010/03/02/SAFETY-ALERT-10-FORD-VEHICLES-STEEL-RIMSWHEELS/COMMENT-PAGE-1 FOR YOURSELF. THERE ARE SEVERAL WHO HAVE THIS ISSUE. *TR
