This is the second cooper discoverer h/t DE-treading incident in several months. In both cases, tire pressures were inflated per specification prior to an extended trip and failed after less than 200 miles of sustained highway driving. All tires were inspected prior to the trip and no road hazards were cause of the tires DE-treading. The first incident in October on highway 10 west was reported to nthsb. This second incident occurred on February 9, 2012 while traveling at a speed of 70 mph on highway 10 east, approximately 130 miles from lake havasu city, arizona. On both occasions, the tires held pressure while the treads sheared from the tire. Both defective tires maintained the correct pressure after testing. It is also noted that the vehicle has never towed a trailer. The vehicle sustained severe damage in both incidents, with the first occurrence forcing the truck off the roadway and into a near fatal situation.

2005 f150 with 38,000 miles,developed a wobble when driving at any speed. Replaced both lower front ball joints. After changing the ball joints out I rotated the tires,and the wobbling became worse not better. I inspected the tire that was originally on the back left side of the truck, and I found a raised spot approximately 10" long and 2 to 3 " wide on the iside of the tire tread. The tread in this spot was worn down past the tread wear bars,and the rest of the tread on the tire was still in a good enough state that I should have gotten another 10,000 miles out of it. I took the truck to local tire dealer and they ispected the rest of the tires and foun 2 more worn exactly the same. Ireplaced all 4 tires with another brand.

Cracking on the shoulder of my tires.

Severe blowout. Tire looks as though it was shot full of holes! going 65 mph on heavily traveled highway.

General ameritrac tr tires, size p255/70/17. I had to replace all 4 original equipment tires on my 05 Ford F-150 4x4 after only 22,000 miles because the tread was separating from the tires to the point you could see the steel belts. Before that I had numerous punctures and repairs from things as light as a stick. I had nothing but troubles from these tires since day one and can't figure out why Ford would put such a poor quality tires on there vehicles. I believe both general tire and Ford owe me some kind of reimbursement for my trouble, time, and new tires. I was told by the Ford dealer that replaced them that general tire would not honor any type warranty on these tires.

Contact stated while traveling at 35 mph the tire came off the rim. He lost control of the vehicle, causing the vehicle to veer into on coming traffic, and colliding with four other vehicles. There was no warning prior to the accident. The vehicle was towed to a dealership. The vehicle was totaled. The manufacturer has not been contacted to determine what might have caused the problem. Injuries were reported.

The contact owns a 2005 Ford f150. He purchased the vehicle three weeks ago. The vehicle only had 1800 miles, and it shook badly. He took the vehicle to the dealership, and they said it looked as if chunks had been cut out of the tires. It was the coal mines, where consumer worked, that was the cause of the cuts in the tires. Consumer denied it, claiming he did not work in the coal mines, and driveway was gravel and should not have caused the cuts in the tires. Two or three of the tires had cuts.

Tires are not wearing correctly and small pieces are coming loose. Ford dealer has not been any help.
