2006 Ford F-250 SD Tires Problems

“I have bf goodrich rugged trail t/a 275 70 r18 tires on my 2006 Ford f250 which were purchased 25 months ago and have 22000 miles on them. While towing my travel trailer I experienced a slight vibration while driving. I immediately pulled over and checked the vehicle and camper for ny visible signs of a problem. Everything a appeared to be in good working order so I continued on driving slower. After about 10 miles the tire completely blew up damaging my vehicle and sending the tread of the tire across the other lanes traffic which almost caused a major vehicular accident. …”

“My wife and I were driving my 2006 f-250 super duty on hwy 95 when my truck felt like I was in an earthquake. It was the worst violent shaking I have ever felt in a vehicle. It felt like all four tires exploded. So I fought my steering wheel and brake pedals to slow the truck down to finally skidded off of the side of the road, while cars are going by us 70 plus mile per hour, everything inside the vehicle fell off of the seats the drinks in the cup holders went flying. …”

“My tires sidewalls are completely coming apart with deep cracks in sidewalls. The tires are not very old,the pick-up isn't used for hauling heavy loads and has not been stored in hot areas..the tires have been rotated regularly and have been inspected by a tire place that has said that the truck is not safe to drive. The consequences of these tires coming apart obviously would result in a major accident which could result in death. I have tried to get the tires replaced but have gotten no-where and was only offered a possible small rebate after would have paid full price for a new set.”

“Wheel vibration, steering wheel oscillation after going over rough or uneven surface,causing lack of control and sometimes lane shift,this happens around 50/55 MPH and higher and mainly in a slight left hand curve,does not happen all the time. Truck has been seen at dealer from almost new,tried balancing tires quite a few times, change rim, forced balance tires,put steering damper on truck. Damper helped but did not cure the problem, have come close 4 times to losing control of veh and wrecking.”
