1 Tire problem

Failure Date: 06/17/2022

I bought achilles desert hawk uhp 285/50/r20 tires in late 2019 from walmart . And had them mounted in 2020 from discount tire. Within 10 months of tires being mounted I had a vibration and it was getting worse every day so I started looking at it and found I had a separated tire on the driver's side front. I put my spare on and contacted walmart which told me sorry for your luck and there is nothing they can or will do. So I contacted discount and they said to contact achilles tire. I did and never heard back from them. I then forgot about it until roughly 5 months ago when passenger tire was separated. Then 3 days ago the passanger rear separated and now today the driver's rear has separated. I understand 1 tire possibly 2, but to have all 4 tires separate in less than 2 years and in under 10,000 miles is mind blowing to me. . I have all the tires and I filed a complaint with walmart and achilles after the 2nd one. I honestly don't think it's discount tires responsibly. I only had them install tires because walmart would make excuse after excuse and I got fed up with it. There should be some sort of liability to the manufacturer and to walmart. I am asking you if it's possible to look into this. 4 tires separate in 2 years you ée??e77?e?.

2 Tire problem

Failure Date: 06/08/2008

I was on the 10 freeway going approximately 70 mph, I felt my car starting to shake. I moved over to the slow lane and at that time the tire tread on my left rear tire came completely off and did significant damage to the left rear side. I called aaa to have the tire changed and when the technician arrived he check the air pressure which was 37 lbs. My spare was placed on my vehicle and I drove home. I contacted americas tire CO. (I had taken my car in March 2008 to prepare for a trip and they rotated and balanced my tires and I was given the o. K. ) I told the manager of my problem and he referred me to copper tire CO. I was sent a claim package and was told to mail the tire back for inspection. On July 10 I received a letter from which stated our claim was denied. The reasons where because our tire had a loose patch plug repair and was underinflated. They are saying due to the puncture, which there isn't one because it was repaired in 2006, the tire failed. I called americas tire and told them what crawford had said about the repair and they told me that they follow calif. Law when doing a tire repair. I was also told the patch would not cause a separation of the tread, that is caused by a company defect. Crawford claims that they tested the tire and refuse to provide me with any information. My tire was repaired in oct. Of 2006, if this was the case my tread would have separated a long time ago. It appears crawford is using this as an excuse not to pay the over $2,000 worth of damage to my car. Crawford claims when a flat tire is repaired with a patch it affect the integrity of the tire. This is nothing more than an excuse for crawford and cooper to not pay for the damaged to my car. I also have noticed that pro comp has had problems with the same style all terrain tire no. Lt265/75r16 that I currently have on my vehicle so this is not the first time they have had problems with tread separation with cooper tires.

4 Tire problem

Failure Date: 03/29/2002

While traveling on GA hwy 300 - our family was on our way to destin, florida to stay with family. The left rear tire exploded causing us to run into the median. My husband and I were traveling with our 3 children one of their friends. We were very shaken up and were stranded. Instead of arriving in florida around 9:30 pm (to have dinner with my sister and mother who live there) we arrived at 1:30 am. If we had not been driving in the inside lane then we would have been hit by traffic!! the tire looked like someone had taken a box cutter and sliced all the way around the outside (inside of the lettering onthe tire) we have taken pictures and saved the tire!
