Goodyear Fortera HL, M&S 265 / 50R 20, tread separated from driver side rear tire, [XXX] at 11:15am, while driving speed limit on [XXX] . The tire was not flat (see photos), but the tread was completely gone and I was riding on steel belts. Extensive damage was done to the left rear quarter of the vehicle, and underneath the wheel well. Estimate over $3,500.00. I also had to replace two rear tires, over $500.00. This incident happened while I was out of state and on vacation. When I returned to my home in Florida, I called Goodyear Property Damage group, but they said that they could do nothing to help me without getting the damaged tire back to the company. Unfortunately, Mavis Tire in Matthews, NC disposed of the tire. I offered to send Goodyear photos of the damaged tire and vehicle, but they refused because they said that they needed the tire. No warning lamps, messages or symptoms occurred prior to the incident. AAA, Mavis tire, Classic Collision Ocala and insurance representatives have inspected the vehicle damage. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I had 4 Pirelli tires that were down to 3/32 to the point where the threads were showing near the inner sidewall on the tread in under 15000 miles. Tire information: Pirelli Scorpion Zero All/Season run flat tires Tire Size: 295/45/ ZR20 (110Y) M+S My safety as well as others would've been at severe risk if I wouldn't have replaced my tires. They would've blown out near the inner sidewall on the tread. I brought my vehicle in to the dealership to have an alignment and all specs were in spec which would indicate there shouldn't have been premature or uneven wear on the tire. They did confirm that under 15000 miles is extremely premature for these tires to be worn. The tires have only been inspected by the dealership, nobody else at this time. There were no lights on the dash indicating any sort of issue. I called Pirelli about the issue and they stated that there is no mileage warranty on the tires put on at the time of manufacturing. They stated that this complaint was "definitely not the first they have heard and it is not uncommon for premature wear to occur" but couldn't provide any further comment.

The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Durango equipped with Windforce Tires, Tire Line: Performax, Tire Size: 285/60/R18, DOT Number: (N/A). The contact stated that while driving at 30 MPH, the vehicle started to wobble. Upon inspection, she noticed that there were bubbles on the driver's and passenger's side rear tires.

The vehicle was taken to the tire dealer and the driver's and passenger's side rear tires were replaced; however, the failure recurred with the driver's and passenger's side front tires. The dealer informed the contact that the tires were not covered under warranty and she would need to pay out-of-pocket for the replacement tires. The driver's and passenger's side front tires were not replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Was driving on Hwy at 65 mph. Rear drivers side tire blew out. Sidewall split and cause the tread to detach. Caliber Collision has pictures of the damage. I had to immediately pull to the side of a busy hwy at dusk. Just managed to get off the road. Called 911 but they didn’t stop to talk to us. AAA towed me to Caliber Collision. Total damages were $10,587.67. Car was totaled by USAA insurance. No warning ahead of time and the tire was 3 years old. Less than 25,000 miles put on it. Warning came on as I was pulling over after the flat but it was too late. Now I have an accident on my record when I only collided with the ground by the flat.

THE VEHICLE PLACARD CALLED FOR 225/75/15 EXTRA LOAD TIRES AND MY MANAGEMENT APPROVED FOR US TO PUT A STANDARD LOAD 235/75/15 TIRE (BRAND IS DEXTERO MADE BY GITI, I DIDN'T SELECT IT ON THE TIRE SELECTION DUE TO IT WASN'T LISTED) ON THE VEHICLE. IT WAS DIRECTLY AGAINST COMPANY POLICY AND UNSAFE TO PUT AN IMPROPER TIRE ON THAT VEHICLE. THIS IS THE THIRD TIRE THAT THEY PUT ON THIS VEHICLE. I WASN'T INVOLVED IN THE OTHER TWO BUT THIS LAST ONE ON SUNDAY THEY WANTED ME TO INSTALL SAID TIRE. I REFUSED TO DO KNOWING THAT IT WAS AGAINST OUR POLICY AND I DID NOT WANT TO PUT THE CUSTOMER IN AN UNSAFE POSITION. THEY FORCED ANOTHER TECHNICIAN TO DO THE WORK THEN PROCEEDED TO TERMINATE ME THE NEXT DAY ON 08/10/15. THE CUSTOMER IS IN CURRENT POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE THAT HAS IMPROPER TIRES AGAINST WHAT THE VEHICLE REQUIRED FROM THE MANUFACTURER.
