Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving my rv down the freeway when the inside dual blew out on the passenger side of the vehicle. Before the tire blew out I noticed a vibration on the passenger side of the rv. A few moments later the tire blew out and the tread came off completely leaving only the side walls. I do not remember running over any objects in the freeway and had not hit any pot holes. This tire was three years old with less than 5,000 miles on it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11154216, filed 2018-11, 23,425 miles“I have had three tire tread separations for tires I purchased in 2006 for my rv. The tires are cooper srm ii, lt225/75r16. The previous two were rear tires that were replaced. The most recent one happened on a front tire while traveling at highway speeds.”
NHTSA complaint #10233307, filed 2008-07, 92,000 miles“The tire developed a slow leak at 16,500 miles since installation. The tire dealer removed the tire and found the tire to have a 2-3 inch slice in the outer skin of the sidewall which ran parallel to and closest to the rim (as opposed to the tread). It was very apparent there was total seperation of the outer sidewall from the inner ribbing yet there was only a slow leak of PSI.”
NHTSA complaint #10481971, filed 2012-10, 28,385 miles“Bfg commercial t/a tire (215/85 r16) blew out and had total tread separation causing some vehicle damage. Tire was under 5 years old per DOT date code, under 15k miles, had good tread, no indication of damage. No known impact with any road debris, blow out occurred while traveling under 55 MPH. Very little warning, just slight feeling of misbalance before tire exploded. Tires had been checked for proper inflation 2-3 days before. Tires were visually inspected during travel - no signs of over/under inflation.”
