Second failure of Continental truck tires.
- Mission Viejo, CA, USA
Reporting bf goodrich commercial ta tires: Size 245R7517 this is the 2nd incident involving the bf goodrich tires on the same vehicle. 1st accident (2012)... tire blew-up on right front causing in excess of $3,000 to truck, rim and side board. Type of vehicle is a Ford F-350 Super Duty dual wheel crew cab. We have used bf goodrich for years until incident #2 on May 20,2013. This incident caused approx.$2,600 on right rear, inner tire blow-out. The tire actually threw the entire tread off leaving the belts on top of the inner tire. After calling bf goodrich, they claim no other complaints have been filed or registered with the 17" bf goodrich commercial ta and I would have to send the tire to them for lab inspection. Prior to this accident, we inspected visually all tires to meet D.O.T requirements. Estimating tread wear, etc, we feel this tire still had around 7000 to 10000 miles before bars would show. We have taken pictures of the tire before sending to bf goodrich. A statement from the driver is available. The tire started making a "thump" sound right before coming apart. I have my doubts this company will replace any tire(s) or assume any damages. It will probably take more severe cases before there is a recall or damages accepted by bf goodrich.

The contact owns a 2008 Ford F-350. The vehicle has treadways tempra trailcutter radial rt tires, size 30570R16 (na). Ever since the vehicle was purchased, it has been pulling towards the left. Several alignments were performed, but they did not correct the failure. An independent mechanic performed a tire rotation, which only made the failure worse. While driving less than 50 mph, the contact felt vibrations in the steering wheel and heard a loud vibrating noise. He slowed down and the front driver's side tire suddenly blew out. The dot number and VIN were unknown. The failure mileage was 150,000 and current mileage was 151,000.
