Two problems related to tire have been reported for the 2001 Chevrolet 2500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Tread separation from tire and subsequent body damage to vehicle. There is currently a recall on this very same make and model of tire, and for the same problem, however my tire was purchased prior to the range covered by the recall. Bf goodrich has told me that there is nothing that they can do for me.
Mud max radial mudder tires purchased new for the front of my chevy pick-up on 5/17/08 failed on a trip from colorado to phoenix and back on 11/26/08 and 111/28/08 when the tread separated from the tire body. It caused a serious vibration in the front end, but they did not blow out. One was replaced with a new tire and the other with my spare. I believe we were very lucky.
