2004 GMC Sierra 1500 sle. Goodyear Wrangler P255 70R16 dot mdcuc6hr 5211. Tires have approximately 25K miles on them. Left rear tire blew due to tread separation. Visually inspected tires and checked pressure on all tires before a long road trip. Tire blew without warning and am now nervous about the remaining tires. Was on interstate 10 at approx 70mph when tire blew, luckily no one was next to me as the rear end of the truck fishtailed into the next lane. Was able to pull over safely and put on a spare.

Bought truck 15 days ago. Had a nail in my tire so I put on the spare tire which was rusty and probably never looked at for 11 years but had to put this on to avoid being stranded. This vehicle was just inspected and was wondering if the spare tire is included in the inspection process. Due to rusty tire condition the lugs loosened and tire fell off while driving on the high way after I changed it. I was told bye the mechanics that the lugs loosened due to a rusty faulty spare. Does this fall under any laws due to just purchasing this vehicle and it going through the dealers inspection sticker. This cussed a serious accident and want to know if they should be held accountable or if I am liable for this.

I purchased Bridgestone dueler alenza hl tires at 42509 on 06/10/2009 and on 04/10/2011 I had a slow leak and went to Bridgestone dealer for repair but noticed cracking in tread. I was told this was normal! in May 2013 my mechanic said this cracking was dry rot and I verified with other tire dealer truck had 70693 mile. This is a 65000 mile tire and I only had 14000 miles before cracking started- this is a safety hazard. I did not go back to Bridgestone dealer because I was given inaccurate info and I bought Michelin instead. I called Bridgestone and they told me there was nothing they could do and "have a nice day."!!!! good luck if you buy these!
