The general grabber hts 255/70 r17 off a 2026 chevy 1500 truck from factory with only 17k miles, has had multiple leaks from what appear to be the rubber itself cracking and no objects seem to be making the punctures. (this tire itself the main reason for this report has been repaired 4 times and now has its 5th leak) but at least 1 or more repairs have been made for 3 of the 4 tires as well as another chevy truck same year, model and tire from factory but only 1 of their tires has failed as of today. One of the tire punctures has leaked 5 psi within 1 mile distance. For obvious reasons of a tire going flat and so fast for no reason this can be extremely dangerous for the occupants of the vehicle as well as others that are on the same roadway,( locations to pull over, weather conditions ie icy roads and pos tire ruptures) the conditions have only been observed in the late spring, summer, and fall, they have not yet been seen in the winter, but is expected to fail more often as the cold with cause the tire to become more brittle and prone to more cracking. The chevy truck tpms does provided a fast and accurate tire pressure give the driver enough time to make decision on the best location to stop.
Severe cracks down the sidewall of the tire & into the tread which is obviously a manufacturing flaw. After seeing a recent like issue of this same issue w/ the same brand tire I feel a replacement of all tires on the vehicle should be replaced before another issue occurs to another & causes a major accident. Tire size 275/60r20 took to the Chevrolet dealer and they quickly said it was not a recall item. I have since replaced the tire at my cost & have kept the original tire for inspection. Was told it was a good thing I replaced the tire as it would have failed soon.
