The entire tread was gone from the tire. The remaining materials were nothing more than steel belting materials. There was extensive damage done to the wheel well lining, fender, rear door, fender and bumper as well as paint damage. These tires had 68,000 miles on them with approx. 1/4" of tread remaining. I examined these tires and verified 34 lbs of pressure prior to leaving memphis for atlanta. No object was struck in the roadway. This was simply a tread failure.

Let me start by saying that I am a ase certified master truck technician with 16 years of experience. After learning of the safety recall on the 285/75/16 dick cepek radial fcii, I inspected all 5 of my tires. Four of the tires had matching dot codes and looked fine. The fifth tire was bought at a later date from the original four. This fifth tire is showing the sidewall separation that is noted in the recall. When I contacted the manufacturer directly and read them the dot codes off of the tires I was told that none of them matched the manufacturing codes of the recall. I would like to have someone contact me in order to investigate this further.
