“The driver-side rear tire (P275/65R20) tread became separated while driving on I95 North with a fifthwheel. The tread became separated from the tire and caused sever damage to the trucks driver side rear wheel well and potential of losing control of the vehicle while towing a fifth wheel with my family of 5. The tire had to be replaced in another state so we could travel home and was not kept. There are pictures of the tire. There was no warning of this tire defect before it occurred.”
NHTSA complaint #11479769, filed 2022-08“Goodyear Wrangler Trail Runner AT LT275/65R20 126/123S I had been traveling at 55 mph when I started noticing a vibration in the steering wheel and front wheels. It started getting a little more noticeable, so I pulled over and checked out the front tires. I checked the lug nuts, looking for missing wheel balance weights, and checked the tires for any bulges. Everything seemed to be ok. Started driving again and the vibration was still there. As I was slowing down for a traffic light, the tire tread separated, and I pulled over. The tire remained inflated so I didn't hurt the rim. …”
