| Tire Tread/belt problems |
While towing a 24-foot spartan enclosed racing trailer carrying a bandolero race car and related equipment on [xxx], I began to feel a slight vibration from the vehicle or trailer. At first, I believed the vibration may have been caused by the road surface, but it steadily intensified. I slowed the truck to approximately 50 mph and activated my hazard lights. I could not initially determine whether the vibration was coming from the truck or trailer. Because I was concerned it could be tire-related, I monitored the truck’s tire-pressure display while my boyfriend monitored the trailer tire pressures. Neither system showed an abnormal pressure reading at that time. Shortly afterward, I heard a loud bang and safely moved onto the highway shoulder. After stopping, I observed that one of the truck tires had lost air pressure. The truck’s tire-pressure monitoring system then displayed zero pressure for that tire. I walked along the shoulder and found the tire tread completely separated from the tire casing several hundred feet behind the vehicle. I recovered and retained the separated tread. The tire remaining on the wheel/rim was missing the tread section that I recovered, indicating a complete tread delamination. The tires were installed on the vehicle when I purchased it on xxx. The vehicle had slightly more than 47,000 miles at the time of the incident, and the tires were original equipment tires. I took the vehicle to an oem body shop for damage estimates. The body shop measured the remaining tire tread and determined that the tire wear was within reasonable specifications. The estimated total damage to the vehicle is $9,920. 60. My [xxx] son and my boyfriend were traveling with me at the time of the incident. Although we were able to move safely to the shoulder, this tire failure created a serious safety concern while towing a loaded enclosed trailer on the highway. Tire size: lt275/65r20.

Lt235/80r17 I had the inside dual tire separate and blow out causing damage to my vehicle I was pulling a trailer on interstate and took a bit to find a place to safely get off highway I contacted kenda per my tire shop instructions they wanted me to send them the tire which I sent what was left of it and they came back denying the claim said I drove with low air pressure I have tpms sensors so I would have known if I had a low tire pressure in the meantime I bout two new tires and placed them on front of truck since then I have had two of the same tires separate and loose all tread I fortunately caught them before they blew out contacted kenda warranty and now they are telling me the tread was too low I have the last tires of that batch and still have tread these tires were rotated every 5000 miles at oil changes by the company I purchased tires from.
