“All four big o euro tour tires purchased and a year later, the tread belt separated from the tire. Narrowly avoiding a collision I managed to get the vehicle into the big o retail center, where my warranty was not honored. Not in a position to drive elsewhere, I purchased two new big o aspen tires. A year later, the tread belt separating from the tires on the other two big o euro tour tires. These tires were listed in a recall just months after my purchase, yet I experienced the same problem.”

“Tire came apart on inside of tire, this is the second one it happened to, the first time was last spring, I thought it was just a fluke until it happened again.

We had the tire replaced at sam's club where we had purchased the tires.”

Even though they had some miles there was still plenty of tread left. While driving, a vibration occurs that seems like there is a tire balance problem. This is evident while going slow and makes the vehicle wiggle or vave then as speed increases it becomes rather severe vibration. This has happened on two occasions with these tires. The first time while traveling at approximately 70 MPH the tread separated from the tire. …”
