“I purchased lt265/75/16 bf goodrich rugged terrain t/a tires for my truck exactly 5 years and just over 21k miles later I had 2 separate tire failures less than a few hundred miles apart. First tire a belt slipped. Had a giant bulge in the tread. I put my spare on and inspected the other tires. All ok. No cracks no dry rot. I have pics. Tire pressure set equally at 78 PSI. I was away camping and pulling a 9000 lb trailer. Local tire store didn't have a replacement so I headed home figured I would replace it with another matching tire at home. About 100 miles later we had a second tire fail. …”
NHTSA complaint #11005857, filed 2017-07, 57,500 miles“My wife and I were taking our son back to college. There was a noise coming from the front right tire that sounded like the warning for your brake pads, except when I applied the brakes it didn't stop. Sounded like my brake rotor was grinding. The next day I took my vehicle to my mechanic to have my brakes and rotors checked. They were fine, but I was surprised when my mechanic told me it wasn't my brakes but instead it was my aluminum alloy rim (factory rims) had cracked all the way through one of the spokes on the rim and had started cracking about an 1 1/2 through another! …”
NHTSA complaint #10482186, filed 2012-10, 95,000 miles“I own a 2003 Ford f-350 duelly with the aluminum rims with the triangular cut outs in them. At about 172,000mi my passenger front rim cracked from one cut out to another all the way through and was offset from the rim about 1/4 inch. I replaced that one and then about 2000mi later the drivers side cracked just like the passenger side did only in 2 places. It was replaced with a used one. The local towing/ tire distributor said he has owned Ford superdutys for over 10 years and has never had one of his rims crack nor has he ever seen one do that. …”
