Example complaints

“I had 2 failures with the first about 9/21/07 and the second 10/6/07. The vehicle is a 1991 f250 hd and is occasionally used to haul a slide-in camper. On both occasions I had the camper on the truck, loading the truck to near the rated capacity of the tires but not over to my knowledge. In both instances the tire pressure was checked before leaving the house, were we traveling a moderate speed, about 55 MPH, and it was cool. In both cases I noticed a vibration but before I could effect a substantial response the tire exploded. …”
