| Description of the problem | This is the 8th separation out of 11 tires they have all happened after about 2 hours of highway driving this one blow and caused about 2300 dollars of damage to my truck not including the tire 3 miles south of iola kansas coming from independence missouri it gave about 3 to 5 seconds of bobble and as i applied the brakes to pull over it blew. This caused the truck to go into the on coming traffic and i was just able to get control of the truck and get it off the road. Bf goodich claim there is not a problem with this tire but i have discovered why they say that. This size of tire usually is purchased for jeeps and small pickup weighing 3000 to 4000 pounds but is rated for e load when you used the tire on a lighter vehicle it does not heat up but my pickup is 9000 lbs. Before this last trip i had costco check the tires and air pressure the day before the trip and i checked them on the day of the trip. So i know they were air to the required pressure. I believe the tire must be recalled and load rated no high than c |
