TIRES:TREAD/BELT

LT275/70R18 E While driving west on I10 near Thermal California, the rear driver side tire lost 100% of its thread at a 65 MPH speed. When the thread separated from the tire it damaged fender area of the truck extensively and caused a violent throw and shake of the rear of the truck. The interesting fact is that even after losing 100% of the thread he tire steel belts exposed the tire stayed inflated at 80PSI. This fact is know because I was actively monitoring TPMS tire pressure while safely pulling over. The tries were inspected and pressure levels were checked prior taking off for the trip to Thermal CA to pick up the family 5th wheel camper. These tires supposed to have a thread life of 60,000 miles, mine had reached 32000 miles. At this point there is a huge concern and low confidence in Goodyear brand tire and this may happen to the other tires on my truck and may happen under the load of the 35 foot family RV. No one was injured, and no one reproduced this problem and the manufacturer hasn't yet inspected the tire. As it was stated there was zero warning from TPMs system prior to the failure.

TIRES

2019 F-450 THAT CAME WITH CONTINENTAL HSR TIRES AS THE OEM TIRE. THE TRUCK HAS HAD 2 SEPARATE INCIDENTS WHERE A STEER TIRE (ONE PASSENGER SIDE, ONE DRIVER SIDE) HAS HAD CHUNKS OF TREAD BREAK OFF OF THE TIRE. THERE ARE NO KNOWN EVENTS CAUSING THIS FAILURE. CONTINENTAL TIRE HAS REPLACED BOTH TIRES UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THIS SEEMS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE. TIRE BRAND: CONTINENTAL TIRE LINE: HSR TIRE SIZE: 225/70R19.5 128N COMPONENT - TREAD COMING OFF OF TIRES MULTIPLE TIMES ON STEER AXLE.

TIRES

BOUGHT MY MOTOR HOME IN JUNE 2009 WITH MICHELIN TIRES SIZE LT 225/75R16 115/R/LRE LTX MS. SINCE NEW, MY TIRES HAVE BEEN CRACKING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIRES MORE AND MORE. I ONLY HAVE LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON THESE TIRES AND IT IS KEPT IN AN ENCLOSED GARAGE SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THESE TIRES BLOWING OUT, BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY LOOK, BUT AS I SAID, WE HAVE VERY LITTLE MILEAGE ON THESE TIRES AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO THE TOP OF THE LINE TIRES. PLEASE, REPLY. THANK YOU. ..UPDATED 04-16-14

I HAVE A 2000 FORD F-450 WITH 19.5" GENERAL TIRES. I HAD A FLAT TIRE WHEREBY THE VALVE STEM BLEW OUT. I HAD TO REPLACE THE VALVE STEMS IN ALL TIRES BECAUSE, ACCORDING TO THE TIRE SHOP WHERE THEY WERE REPLACED,THEY WERE THE WRONG VALVE STEMS. THE STEMS WERE NOT FOR HIGH PRESSURE TIRES BUT RATHER REGULAR AUTOMOBILE TIRES. FORD HAD A RECALL BUT ONLY CHECKED TO SEE IF THEY WERE LEAKING. THEY SHOUILD HAVE REPLACED THEM WITH THE PROPER VALVES.
