All the tires I am reporting went bad while I had small children in the vehicle. All of them went bad as the result of a separation. They all got big bubbles in them where the tread separated from the rest of the tire. I believe that the only reason I didn't have a big accident was because I could feel the vehicle wobbling when I drove, due to the bubble in the tire. I find it very interesting that these tires all came appart at appx. 25000 miles. I had the fourth tire replaced before it could go out on me too. (tiresize: 275/6017).
Tire less than one week old, traveling midday on freeway at 65 mph with clear unobstructed view ahead, clean dry road, heard loud "pop" come from rear of car, tire flat at exit just a few miles later, Ford dealer declined responsibility, referred us to firestone dealer who suggested highway hazard puncture even though we protested that no hazard was seen by either person in car, tire dealer tried to repair but bubble on side prevented safe repair, we bought another brand-new tire to replace defective tire( dot number: 027582 tire size: p265/70r17 ).
Both front tires are "bubbling" on the outer edges. The right side is worse. My mechanic thinks it is from the shocks and warrents attention at only 11. 5k miles. He is worried of a blow-out. He says tire is "bouncing". ( dot number: ).
