general problems of the 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer

I was driving west on the #10 fry near palm springs CA (65-70 mph) when the front left tire began to thumb and come apart. Aprx. 80% of the tire tread/belt separated from the definity dakota tire. The remaining tire never went flat. After pulling to the side of the road I called aaa and they removed the tire and replaced it with my spare. The aaa tow truck driver said the tire clearly failed due to a defect. Three days later the car ( chevy. Trailblazer) was taken to a repair shop, due to the flapping tread causing FL body,headlight, f bumper, l running board and FL wheel well damage. Seidner's repair shop removed the defected tire, it was discarded in error and they were not able to retrieve it. The orig set of tires were purchased at pep boys 5/21/06, when I returned last week (5/22/10) to the store where I purchased the set they told me per there corp. Office current recalls did not cover my size. Also (5/25/10) the pep boys corp. Office had a call in to copper tire hdq for a complete list of definity dakota size recalls and to report this complaint. As of 5/29/10 copper has not returned there call, or a call to me.

Greetings national transportation safety administration, I would like to introduce myself as anthony horsley, sr. On Tuesday morning at 5:30am, my cooper made tires broke down on the left rear side of the of my vehicle, which is a 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer. I managed to get off the freeway and exit safely. I pulled over at a parking lot to discover that the tire had separated and the loose rubber had ripped a hole in my bumper. The cooper tire is a dominator class 255 - 70 - r16, originally purchased through discount tire, with full warranty. In February of 2008 I was alerted when I brought in the Trailblazer for an alignment check that the tires were being recalled and they subsequently replaced the front tires with michelin ltx tires. I asked them why they had not replaced the rear tires as well as they were the same type. Discount stated that they were only given instructions to replace the front tires. At this point I believe that the national transportation safety administration should look further into this matter. I hope to resolve this issue by having cooper tire providing me a right rear tire to match the three tires . I have been in touch with mr. Alex pendelton, manager at discount tire, 702. 435. 1533. Thank you.
