Tl- the contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 equipped with primewell tires, tire line: valera ht harry truman, tire size: lt265/75/r16, and dot number: y9b1le1x. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would shake. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanics to have the all tires replaced on two separate occasions.

Driving south on interstate 15 in #1 lane south of cedar city, utah. The truck suddenly shook violently and within seconds there was a loud explosion with debris fly a head of me. I fought to control my vehicle and was able to slow down to pull off on the shoulder of the road with hitting any one. The tire that exploded was on left front. The entire tread came off of the tire and tire separated where the tire was seamed together during manufacture. There was extensive damage to the vehicle bent front bumper, tore the wheel well liner, dented the front door in several places and dented rocker panel under the front door. The tire was a bf goodrich all terrain t/a ko, lt285r70/17 load range e. The tire had a 50,000 mile warranty but had just a little 20,000 miles with 10/32 tread on all tires which means there was 60% tread life left in the tires. When I was almost home, I notice a type of vibration like a tire was unbalance or out of round. I check the other three tires and discovered the right rear tire had large bulge across the tread which indicates that another tire was failing. Took the tires to the dealer and told me that me these failures were do to a manufacturer/workmanship defect. Michelin which makes the bf goodrich tires wants me to pay for a new set of tires and damage to my truck and verbally they tell me they may reimburse me but will not put that in writing. I do not trust them and will never buy bf goodrich or michelin tires again. Michelin has a recall on this line of tires in various sizes but not in my size. Do not understand why my size was not recalled because all sizes in the all terrain line are made with the same materials and manufacturing process the same for all sizes. The only difference is the size of the tire.
