We were traveling East on interstate 94 near camp douglas, wi. We experienced a complete tire failure. It appears to be ply-separation. We contacted the tire dealer by phone, but they said the tire was not on recall. I wrote the company directly, but did not even get a response.

We purchased a set of bf goodrich tires on 5-16-2009. The 1st incident occurred 7-11, driving home noticed a bad thumping sensation in the right rear tire. Pulled over and noticed the tire had a bubble in the center of the tread, so pulled over and changed tire. So on 7-29-11 I purchased 2 new tires to replace this bad one. The 2nd incident took place on 5-11-12 was a blow out and no warning. So I changed this tire as well.on the same day I felt a thumping sensation so pulled over and noticed the left rear tires had a bubble. So of the 4 tires purchased 3 of them went bad. I pulled the other tire of my truck and purchased 2 new tires on 5-12-12. I submitted a complaint to bf goodrich to see if they would either cover the cost of the new tires or the damage to my truck. Needless to say the claim was denied. I provided them with all of the maintenance paperwork showing the tires were rotated on a regular basis and the pressure was checked on a regular basis. Their answer was the tires were run on a 'runflat" condition. That the tires were run on in a flat condition. Now how could anyone possibly drive down the freeway with no air in their tires. And how would 3 tires so far go bad.

Within a few hundred miles of purchasing these nitto trail grappler tires abnormal wear began to appear. This abnormal wear is best described as crumbling. There are certain areas or the tire that the tread is crumbling apart. As mileage on tire increases the crumbling gets worse. After first rotaion of tires at approx 3500miles the tires are steadily degrading. This could result in blowout or tread/tire seperation causeing a sever vehicle accident. Two months of trying to get this resolved with the shop and nitto have resulted in no replacement of tires. Company has claimed these tires aren't meant for the vehicle and the owner has abused the tires. The tires have been well taken care of and not abused in anyway. Vehicle that wears these tires are under the recommened application according to specs. The vehicle is a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500hd 4X4. Tires are nitto trail grappler 35X12.50R20 load range "E" 10 ply. Rims are 20X8.5 mb motorsports. Pressure in tires 60psi.

Started hearing noises from the brakes, took to shop, and was told it was not under warranty even though there are only 30,000 miles on it. They had to turn the rotors. Also tires are falling apart. Another issues is with the 4 wheel drive it doesn't engage properly.

Silverado 2500 8-cyl

  • 13,000 miles
We purchased this vehicle new from a dealer. The truck now has approx. 14,000 miles and the tires need to be replaced. After taking it to a mechanic I was told that this make has some issues that cause the tire to wear down on the inside. I should not have to replace the tires at 14,000 miles. Dealership gave answers like depends on driver, road conditions, etc. None of these explain the premature wear of this tire. I am not alone in this problem.
