Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Treads separated from tire while driving, nearly causing an accident. A couple of miles before it came apart, there was a slight vibration. I slowed down to fifty MPH on a highway, the tire blew apart, momentarily lost control of the vehicle, and once I maintained control of the vehicle, I pulled over to the side of the highway. I took the tire back to discount tire, they wrote a report on the condition of the tire and sent the report back to falken tire. They denied liability for the tire failure and the tire is still in their possession.”

I was able to pull off the road safely and discovered that the outer side wall on the left rear tire had completely separated from the tire. No obstruction in the road was observed prior to the tire failing and the vehicle was not damaged by the tire failure. …”

Due to the hot weather in ok and tx; last friday, I waited until 800pm for the heat to come down to drive from oklahoma city to dallas.
