I have had at least 5 of these tires where the complete tread completely seperated from the tire. Have photos, actual tire leftovers, and receipts for proof of purchase and mechanics pro-rate adjustments. Out of all 6 tires originally purchased and the numerous pro-rated adjustments, only one remains in use and has reached a use of aprox. 50K miles. I realize now that I should have written about these problems as I encountered them, but it is not every day that one has loads of time to trouble shoot, find associations, and report findings. Additionally I did not realize until recent news reports that these can be life threatening issues.( dot number: Tire size:/85R16 )
