“While driving on I-75 the vehicle began to shake. I drove the the nearest gas station to check out the tires and inflation thinking the tires must be low. Upon inspection, nothing semed to be wrong and thought I lost a weight or something. I proceeded back to the interstate. 10 minutes later the tire separated while I was going 70 MPH. I maintained control and now one was injured. The tire is a cooper response rst touring 2000.”
NHTSA complaint #10126579, filed 2005-06“My wife and granddaughter where driving home when the front right side tire side wall failed at 50mph and the tire departed the cars rim. Luckily my wife was able to maintain control of the car and was traveling at a safe speed and was able to stop the car on the rim only safely. I check tire pressure and maintain it to car and tire manufactures specifications on our Ford Mustang since it is a high performance tire and car. I 'am extremely upset at bridgestone as this tire should not have failed and compromised the safety of my wife and grandchild.”
NHTSA complaint #10216550, filed 2008-01“The kuhmo ecsta supra 712 was a replacement set of tires on my l999 Mustang gt convertible. The tire is designed to displace water through a large, lateral center channel. From reading descriptions of the tire, this tire design is intended to provide a high level of hydroplaning resistance. As an automotive association executive director with many, many years of operating high performance vehicles, I am truly concerned about this particular design. The tire seems to have signifcant lateral gripping capability both in wet and dry conditions. …”
NHTSA complaint #741329, filed 2001-02“The contact stated while driving 30 MPH on normal road conditions, the left rear tire came off the rim. There was no warning signals prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken to the tire dealer who did not recognize any warranty on the tire, which had only 16000 miles. A new tire was mounted on the rim and did not present any problem. The tire brand was big o and there was no DOT number on it. Size: 245/45h17.”
