Tire Sidewall problems of the 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer

2002 chevy Trailblazer with goodyear fortera armour tires had a problem with the sidewall of one tire separating. The passenger front tire went fat while driving 50 mph. The consumer was not given an explanation as to why the sidewall of the tire failed in the manner in which it did.

I have 4 (245-70-16) bf goodrich open trail t/a tires that came original on my new 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer LS 4wd. I have 20,649 miles on my vehicle. I have 5/32 tread left, I have belts broken in the sidewall, cracks in between the tread. Although 5/32 tread is "acceptable" according to b f goodrich I have recently experienced sliding in wet conditions as opposed to when I first bought the vehicle and the tread depth was more abundant. According to b f goodrich, these tires are not subject to replacement under the terms of their warranty. It's against my better judgment to keep driving on these tires, but if I listen to them and accept their position that these tires are safe, I will be risking the lives of myself, my wife, and my passengers. I hope this organization will investigate this tire and I will be more than happy to have them pulled from my vehicle and shipped to you for examination.
