| Description of the problem | Purchased bf goodrich tires from discount tire 2 years ago, with 21000 miles on the tires one tire had tread separation which was replaced without incident in august 2015. In october 2015, while traveling at approximately 50 mph down hill on i-17 from sunset point the driver's side rear tire tread separated causing a near accident. The tire caused minor damage to the wheel well and had to obviously be changed. Tire was replaced by discount. Problem lies in the fact that we bought four tires all from the same stock. We anticipate similar problems with the remaining two but are not willing to risk our lives to find out when they will separate and go flat on us. We are now forced to buy two new tires at full value out of fear of the unknown as we transport our grandchildren often and have plans to take our travel trailer out. The bf goodrich tires are 275/65 r20 (beot uh11 0212). |
