1 Tire Tread/belt problem

Failure Date: 05/11/2025

Our first issue with the lt 265/70r17 was in 2020. We had a defective front driver ( tread came completely off the tire) of a Dodge Ram 2500. Replaced it and bought another new one, both new in front now @sam’s club. Drove to CA. On the way home, back left tire (drivers side) exploded !! on hwy. 10. Lost control of the truck and went off into the center divider, the truck rolled over and was completely destroyed. My wife had a concussion and had to have shoulder surgery due to the roll over. She almost lost her life and I got a hernia from impact. Our dog ( std. Poodle)was catapulted from backseat about 20ft. Everyone lived. We did all the right things. Tires were inflated correctly, drove speed limit, temp. 75, 9:00am. No traffic. Dps deemed it no fault because the tread that had come off the tire had 10/32nds and was fine. What went wrong????.
