1 Tire problem of the 2002 Chevrolet 2500

Failure Date: 11/26/2015

Driving at 55 mph on hwy 528 about 20 miles east of orlando, the truck began to shake and then we suffered a catastrophic tread separation of our rear driver's side tire. We were trailering a camper at the time. By the time I was able to bring the truck to a stop on the shoulder of the highway we had sustained close to $3000 worth of damage to the rear driver's side fender and wheel well. This was the 2nd kumho lt 245/75 r16 of the set that had a separation. The first one we were able to slow done in time to prevent any damage to the vehicle. The tires only had 18000 miles on them and inflation pressures had been checked within 24 hours of the incident each time. After calling kumho several times after the 1st incident, they gave a 67 dollar credit on the tire. The second time they have not returned my multiple phone calls. I have now replaced and kept the remaining tires of the set. I kept them hoping that NHTSA would take them for testing. I filed a complaint by phone with NHTSA on 11/3015 and meko told me I would be receiving forms in the mail to complete the complaint. It has now been over 2 months, and I have not received anything from you! my complaint # was 10807471. These are dangerous faulty tires and need to be recalled. Someone needs to hold kumho responsible fro these tires before more lives are lost secondary to catastrophic separations.

5 Tire problem of the 2001 Chevrolet 2500

Failure Date: 11/26/2008

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.
