Tire Bulge Problems of Dodge Dakota

While driving at approximately 65 mph tread completely separated from tire but did not lose air and I was able to control the vehicle. Tire tread caused over $2,000 damage to the bed of the 2000 Dodge Dakota pu as the tread explosively separated from the truck. The tire was 6 years and 3 months old with less than 20,000 miles on it. We do live in an area that experiences summertime temps in the 90-110 degree range. The temp that day in may was about 90 degrees. I am reporting this because I just had another definity Dakota h/t tire develop a bulge and looks like it is about to experience a tread separation also. Tire is on the same vehicle and the same, passenger side rear position as the first tire incident. Both tire were purchased in Feb 2007 as a set of four definity Dakota h/t. Tires. I checked with pep boys and the local rep said he was not aware of any problems with these tires and state that he had them on his vehicle.
