I was driving along on highway 70 and had the tire separate and explode. I then went in and has the tire replaced. This then again happen a second time within 500 mile but I was able to stop before the explosion. You can see though the tread where the steel belts are showing and sticking out though the tread. Same make model and life of tire. ~4 years old and ~40000 miles. The tire is 5 year 60000 mile tire. My wear is only half life. I replaced the first tire under there prorating but the second time it happen I try to explain to them they is not just isolated incident. They told me that there tire are good, it your problem not manufacturing defects. They said they will only prorate and will not investigate in to issue of it possibly being a manufacturer fault.

Tire size is LT265/75R-16/C. the tire failed while returning from omaha with my wife and 8 month old son. I have digital pictures of the tire and truck that can be sent over E-mail. I have contacted pirelli and they want me to send the tire along with estimates to fix the truck. I spoke with nadine calderwood at 1-800-243-5105 ext 387. She did not seem to care if anyone was injured or not and seemed to be exactly like her title a risk manager. The tires have aprox 20,000 miles on them. I was driving 75 mph and the truck had a slight vibration I checked tire pressure when we stopped and visually inspected the tires. After we filled with gas the vibration was no longer there. After our second stop the vibration returned and then the tread separated with a violent crash destroying the entire side of the truck and causing the truck to almost loose control and shake violently. I understand that a large tire co like pirelli has to watch out for their best interest however they should put the customers well being at the top. I would appreciate any information you have about other pirelli tire separations that have been filed. Thank you. (dot number: Chw8gp4419 tiresize: 265 75R16C)

I was traveling East on the paved portion of Nevada state roure 290 at about 50 mph. The left rear tire blew out. About a 10 inch long portion of the tire just shreded. When I took it to the local Goodyear dealer he refused to make good on it. He claimed I had run over a curb or some other obstacle. I had never rubbed a curb, let alone hit one, or hit any other obstacle. I figured it was not worth the time and effort to contact the manufacturer. I know of two other people in carson city who have had the same problem with Goodyear tires. Firestone has been racked over the coals. I tink it is time to, at least, investigate Goodyear to see how safe their tires are. (dot number: Unknown tiresize: P265/75R16)
