“My recently purchased vee rubber a/t tire blew up with a loud bang sunday morning parked in the driveway, thankfully, and not on the road. I just bought four tires from simple tire on 07/07/2016 and only put 200 miles on them. It appears to me like an air leak developed near the tread/sidewall area and delaminated the sidewall from the inner liner and blew out near the bead. Tires: vee rubber taiga a/t lt285/75r-16 r 126/123r the only date code marking I see is 0316?”

NHTSA complaint #10706743, filed 2015-03, 149,111 miles“Tailpipe is close enough to spare tire to melt tire. Tire is unusable. Later vehicles have a heat shield in place to prevent this. Ford should have recalled earlier units.”
NHTSA complaint #11364408, filed 2020-10, 100,000 miles“Wife was driving east bound on 580 coming down what we call the altamont pass on a sunday afternoon with moderate traffic. The vehicle was empty so the bouncing on this freeway is pretty standard. She heard a load explosion and the truck began to shake. She immediately pulled to the shoulder and noticed the driver side rear tire was shredded along with the side of the truck. Praise god she had just had the tires rotated otherwise this tire would have been in the front and pulled her across traffic. …”
