On Saturday, 6/2/18, myself, husband and another passenger were involved in an incident in goochland county, va. Road conditions were normal, no rough road, potholes and no items in roadway. We were traveling on a rural, two lane road with no side shoulders(just trees) when our left rear tire started vibrating and making a strange noise. Before we had time to slow down, we heard loud banging and crunching. Seeing as there was no place to pull over, we had to stop and investigate in the middle of the lane. What we saw was a still fully inflated tire, with the tread torn off and flapping. This completely destroyed the bed and who knows possibly what else of our truck. The tires have good tread life, were inflated to the manufacturer suggested pressure and were not dry rotted or worn unevenly. We had to have the truck towed an hour back home because of the condition. I have reached out to the manufacturer and have not been able to get anywhere with them. This is not a fluke, seeing as I am not the only one complaining on here about this issue. We were extremely lucky that we were not injured or even killed. Our tires are 33x12. 50x16. 5 bf goodrich all terrain t/a ko. Pictured below is the proof of tire tread separation and damage done to my vehicle.
Driving on sh 239 in refugio county, texas at approx. 70 mph between tivoli, TX and us highway 77 south. Right front tire blew out which immediately caused the truck to veer off the right side of the highway, over a metal culvert, go airborne through a barbed wire fence at the corner posts, land in a pasture and continue through another barbed wire fence with metal fence posts. Distance traveled from road to stopping point approximately 70-75 yards. Tires purchased at discount tire, 9/16/2009 truck mileage 68,000, all tires replaced at this time with lt/265/75r16e1 123r b bf goodrich rugged trail t/a rbl tires.
