Tire problem #1

Lt275/65/r18 tire developed a massive approximately 18in x 3in bubble on the inner section of tread causing significant vibration and excessive wear in that area in less than 50 miles.

Tire Sidewall problem #2

I purchased a 2005 Ford Excursion limited used in may of 2011. The vehicle was purchased with new bct radial a/p lt265/75r16 tires. After approximately 2 months the vehicle would shake and vibrate at highway speeds. One of the tires was found to be out of round and was replaced with a bf goodrich tire. Now 13 months after purchase one of the other bct tires has sidewall separation in several locations. I am now replacing all of the bct tires to prevent a sudden and catastrophic tire failure.
