Tire Bulge Problems of Ford E-450

Multiple failures of nearly new nexen roadian lt tire used on two separate Ford E-450 limo/shuttle chassis. Four failures were experienced within a 6 month period, and included cord/tread/inner liner separation, bulging and related failures. One failure resulted in a blow-out at speed, one failure resulted in a serious and/or catastrophic bulge/separation, and the remaining failures were similar, but caught prior to becoming dangerous. The remaining two tires were replaced/discarded w/o observed failure. All tires were replaced. One experienced, heavy truck repair and mobile truck tire service located in southern California indicated that the tires were unsafe.
