Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Just to let you know for your data base that these tires were purchased after market, so Ford had nothing to do with it. One tire rolled the tread right off, separating right under the steel belt. But the tire held air. It happened on a mountain road, at about 85 degrees. I used the other 3 tires until they had about 50,000 miles on them without any other problems. Hadn't heard about any issue at that time so I didn't report it.( DOT number: tire size: 235x15 )”
