My daughter was returning home to madison, al from auburn university, Alabama using interstate I-65 North. Just outside of birmingham, al at mile marker 170 she had a blowout of the right rear tire. The tire tread seemed to completely separate from the sidewall all around the tire. The tire was completely useless. The tire was on a Jeep Grand Cherokee overland with full time four wheel drive, which we believe helped my daughter come to a safe stop on the highway median. The tire was a Goodyear Wrangler sr a P235/65 R17 dot MK87 dywr 0506. We are now very concerned about the quality of the remaining Wrangler tires on this vehicle and if it is safe to continue to use them. Pictures of the damaged tire and the tire itself are available.

The chrome rims that were an option on the vehicle, on the inside metal corroded and peeled off. Already talked to the dealer, and the manufacturer noticed this. Just this week. The tires are Goodyear, Wrangler. The tires now are Michelin tires which were changed at 50,000 miles. The wheel or rim hubs had to be broken off because they were rusted out due to corrosion.

The manufacturer put the wrong size tires on the vehicle. It was told to the consumer at 24,000 miles that tires were worn out. Consumer could not get the right tire for the vehicle. Goodyear Wrangler, St all season, P22575R16, 104S, weight rating 1984 maximum......Goodyear tires wore out at 23000 miles. Consumer claimed that he was told by Goodyear that he should get 60000 to 70000 miles on that tire. In checking for replacements both B.F.goodrich and Michelin refused to put their tires on consumer's vehicle. They stated that their tire must have a rating of 106S.
