“While driving my 2012 Dodge RAM 2500 on a four lane highway the front right firestone transforce tire blew out. The blow out was immediate and unexpected. The truck careened from median to median barely missing another vehicle until I was finally able to bring it under control. I am a very experienced driver, knew not to hit the brakes and believe that a less experienced person may have had a worse outcome. I do have pictures.”
NHTSA complaint #10615926, filed 2014-07, 35,000 miles“While driving my truck on the interstate and pulling a travel trailer, the driver's side front tire had a blowout without warning. My truck and trailer momentarily swerved but I was able to regain control and pull over to the right shoulder. I heard the remaining tire tread strike the wheel well repeatedly before I could stop the truck. The blowout caused extensive damage to the fender, wheel well liner, battery, headlight bracket, bumper and wiring harness. Aside from the body damage, numerous wires were torn and rendered the truck inoperable. …”
NHTSA complaint #11349130, filed 2020-08, 52,995 miles“I purchased a pair of Treadwright warden tires for the rear of my wife’s truck. In less than 100 miles the tread separated from the casing on one of the tires. I caught it before it completely blew out and have pictures. The replacement they sent has a blown sidewall. I mounted it and a bubble started to form that was 1/2” high and 3” around with just 20psi, operating PSI for the tire is 80PSI. I immediately stopped inflation and contacted Treadwright. They tried to convince me that it was “overlap” and safe to use. …”
