2000 Chevrolet Venture Tires Problems

“My daughter noticed that she was not able to keep air in one mastercraft a/s iv tires. As we looked at the tire together she heard air escaping, and when we touched the area of the leak, the leak got louder. I took it to the local farm & fleet (where the tires were purchased & installed as I have been told they are good at keeping up with warranties) to have it checked out. I was told that it has dry rot , and I would have to buy another brand as the mastercraft a/s iv have been discontinued , and I have no other recourse. …”

“I have 4 original firestone tires [fr680] p215/70/r15 tires that have splits in side walls by tread areas, and they also have bulges in sidewall areas. Only 25000 mi. On them. I feel that I need to replace them before we have a major blow out and accident by these visible problems. With 3 children I cannot afford an accident caused by these tires. I will be keeping old tires . I went on the web sight and saw that similar problems are happening to other people???”

The tread completely separated from the tire destroying the rim ABS harness cable and other for a total of 2000.00 damage. No injuries. The tires have very little wear (9000 miles). I immediately replaced all the tires with another brand. The catastrophic failure of the tire concerns me and believe the tire to be faulty. I would like to have the tire analized by an independent lab to let and to give their opinion of why the tire failed. …”
