Experienced separation of 6/16" to 7/16" depth tread from 1 tire of matched set going 75 mph on clear day, clear, smooth highway. Very luck no one was hurt. Did some damage to vehicle. Drove slowly to nearest town and replaced both tires on that axle. Mechanic said it shouldn't have happened. Fear defect(s) of remaining two Wrangler ht's. no response from Goodyear. Don't want to sue, but do want damages rectified. Please tell me what to do. Thanks!

problem #20

F-150

Tire blowout; driving with cruise control @ approx. 60 mph on open highway. Left/rear tire (driver's side) suddenly blew out without warning or prior evidence of possible tire failure. Tread is very much separated and sidewalls, both inside and outside (as relating to tire placement on truck) have approx. 30-40 slashes in them. It appears as though the tires sections (possibly belts?) just came apart and the tread portion of the tire came off. Like previously mentioned, the tire had shown no warning signs of possible failure, was not underinflated, was not anywhere near close to the point of having insufficient tread wear (still approx. 3/8" tread left on tire) or did not show any superficial damage to the sidewall or tread. The damage caused to my vehicle has still yet to be properly evaluated and officially determined, although it appears there may be some damage to the wheel itself and possible damage to the hub and supension units, not to mention alignment and whatever else shows up in the damage evaluation and assessment.

This tire was rotated from left front to left rear two weeks prior to tread separation. When driving at low speed (15-25 mph) on the day of incident we could feel a wobble in the vehicle but did not connect it to any tire problems. After driving 150 miles of a 600 mile trip a loud pop was heard we determined that the tire had blown. My pregnant wife applied the brakes and pulled the vehilcle off the road onto the right hand shoulder of I-35 just South of dallas. The tread had separated and did damage to the left rear quarter panel, and fuel filler neck of the rear tank. I took video tape (available to you) of the incident. We replaced the blown tire with the spare, continued to little rock, ar where we purchased an identical tire and replace it in the left rear position. United services automobile association (usaa) paid for a claim that we submitted. We experienced a side wall failure on the right front one year earlier on memorial day traveling from Oklahoma to Arkansas. (tiresize: 235/75R15)( dot number: Tire size: 235/75R15 )

Tire litterally exploded unexpectedly @ ~ 70mph on a very hot day. Barely had time to stop & pull over before ruining the mag wheel also. There was nothing left of the tire other than steel cords which slapped/damaged around wheel well. Replaced both rear tires to have even tread wear. Still have spare(used once) that is same as tire that blew. Although this tire is presently not recalled, wanted to report such so that I might be eligible if it is recalled later. This experience seemed all too similar to that of reports read in regards to tires that were recalled shortly after having replaced two tires.
