1 Tire problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2014

Uniroyal laredo p245-r16 tires have dry-rot cracks next to tread blocks after less than five years and 24,000 miles on vehicle.

2 Tire problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2000

At about 50 to 55 mph, the least bit of road roughness starts the tires hopping and sending the rear of the truck sideways. The tires did not come on the truck, they were purchased as replacements for the original tires which posed no problems. It happens very quickly and has nearly caused me to lose control several times. I bought the tires used with about 5000 miles on them. I would assume the previous owner had the same problem and replaced them, which I will have to do to. (tiresize: 265 75)( dot number: tire size: 265 75 ).
