“4 rugged terrain t/a lt265/75r-16 purchased at odometer 91681. Tires rotated at 100955. Following happened while highway driving. On 8/19/2015, odometer 109831, vehicle vibrating, found bubble (tread separation) on left rear tire. Tire was replaced under warranty. On 8/4/2017, odometer 121840, vehicle vibrating, found bubble (tread separation) on right rear tire. Have not taken tire to dealer yet. Front tires seem to be singing with a rhythm (best I can explain). I'm having all checked out today. I don't trust these tires anymore.”
NHTSA complaint #11015039, filed 2017-08, 109,831 miles“Purchased the truck from car geeks and they said it was a great truck and we would have no problem towing our fifth wheel trailer. Well we took it on a trip to phoenix from tucson and we noticed that the truck was not handling very well when we got home I noticed that the passenger side tire was gouged out all the way around the inside bead of the tire also noticed that only the upper control arm had been replaced and nothing else. All of the front suspension was in really bad condition also. Along with the steering you can only turn the steering wheel a little ways”
