I have a set of goodyear wrangler ap tires on my vehicle. They are suppose to have a traction rating of a, but I believe this is incorrect. Based on my experience with these tires over the past 24,000 miles, traction is very poor with these tires on wet and dry surfaces. They break traction very easily, even during slow acceleration starts. Sudden stops on wet surfaces are just as poor.

While driving from oklahoma back to arizona I started to experience severe vibration. I pulled over, and noticed that the right tire had a huge blister with belt strands protruding from the inside tire. I took it off, and noticed nothing that could have caused it. I took it to earnhardt which the tire mechanic stated that a screw caused the belt separation. I find this hard to believe considering that the tire only had 18500 miles on it and the location of the screw (very small too) was not in the vicinity of the huge blister. It's my belief that the heat was the primary cause. I hope others won't incur the same problems with general tire (graber aw p255/70r16) on 2001 Ford F-150.
