Tire Bead Problems of Ford F-150

5:30 pm 4/12/21 was driving home from umpiring a baseball game, drove threw intersection when suddenly I was thrown into passenger seat of my truck, the next thing I know im stopped in front of a tree with a telephone pole on the hood of my truck with no idea what or how this happened. I was lucky no one was coming the opposite direction on the 2 lane road cause I wouldn't have been able to control truck even at 40mph, another 5min and I would have been on the interstate going 65mph and surely I'd be dead. After a week I was able to go out and look at my truck thats when I noticed the flat front passenger tire was flat and the inner ring of the rim came off. I had an accident investigator look at it , I hired a lawyer and a metallurgical expert to examine rim. There was no warning the rims were still new.

Tuesday morning when I went out to my truck the tire looked to me to be low on air and low pressure light was on in the truck. I drove to my shop (approx. 7. 2 mi. ), took off the wheel to check for leaks (found non), checked the air pressure and it was at 28 lbs, I filled the tire with air to 36 lbs. The low pressure indicator light did not go out. I checked the other 3 tires and found them all to be low so I filled them with air to 36 lbs and the light went out. At the end of the day I drove home, then took my wife to dinner (approx. 5 mi. ). When we pulled into the restaurant parking lot and turned right into a parking spot, the left front tire blew off the rim as I came to a stop. I am not as concerned about getting a free tire as I am of the safety factor involved. I have 4 hankook tires on this truck and it concerns me that another one may blow apart (possibly at freeway speed). I do believe that this was a defective tire. I am 65 years old and I've worked on cars all my life and ive never seen a tire bead split the way this one did. I also have associates in the automotive business who after seeing the damaged tire completely agree with me. I would hate to see a repeat of the Ford explorer tire problem that occurred with firestone several years back; and I hate to think there are more defective tires out there. I spoke with and emailed this information to al abrador at hankook tire and he said it was the fault of the person that mounted the tires, he also said that hankook has had no other complaints regarding these tires. I went to the tire shop where ive done business for the past 20 years and they said they had never seen a broken bead like this one. After looking at the NHTSA site I see there are indeed many complaints regarding hankook tires. Again, I am concerned with my own as well as public safety in this matter.

- the contact owns a 2004 Ford f150. The vehicle was in the repair shop for a slow leak on the front passenger side tire so the mechanic plugged the tire. While mounting the tire to the vehicle it exploded. The explosion was caused by separation of the tire beads. The mechanic mounted the spare tire. After driving ten miles the spare tire blew also due to tire bead separation. The tire beads were completely severed in both failures. The failed tire brand is hankook dynapro, size, p235/75r17. The contact was driving 5 mph when the spare tire failed. Updated 2/22/2007 - updated updated 04/16/tr.

While at home after parking my F-150 in the driveway. An hour later I went to get my kids from school. The right rear tire was flat. I went to change the tire and saw that it was cut. Took the tire off and saw that the rubber and came off from the metal that goes around the rim. Took the tire to the nearest goodyear dealer. They said that it was a bead separation and thay have never saw a tire do that before. The bad thing is that I have another tire about to do the samething. It is the spare, and I am using it.
