Sierra 3500

  • miles
These tires are Good Year Wrangler Trail Runner AT size LT275/65 R20. My total mileage on these tires was 42,751. These were the original tires that were installed when the truck was purchased new. My Tires are rotated every 7,500 miles. Tire pressure is maintained at the exact pressure and in this case was just checked 4 days prior to the incident. I was driving on an interstate at 70 mph. A vibration started. I checked the Tire pressure monitors and all showed normal pressures. About 4 minutes later the vibration increased and I decided to pull over. I had slowed to about 45 mph and had my turn signal On, as I was intending to pull on to the right shoulder. Suddenly the left rear tire exploded, and tread had separated. My truck was damaged. All the components in the wheel well are gone or damaged. The left rear 1/4 panel/fender is bent. NO repair estimate yet. After the incident I saw zero pressure on that tire indicating on the TPMS.
