Tire Bubble problems of the 1999 Ford F-350

The contact owns a 1999 Ford f350. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle began to shake. The contact noticed an air bubble on the driver side tire. She took the vehicle to the tire plus store where it was replaced under warranty. The failure recurred, however, there were four air bubbles in the tire and the tread had separated from the rim. The tire store stated that they will not repair it under warranty and that she would have to purchase new tires. They also suggested that she was striking the curb when parking and driving, which was the cause of the failures. The contact replaced the tires herself. The tires were bridgestone dueler a/t 693, size lt265/75r16. The dot number was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 100,000.

While driving the tire tread separated causing damage to the vehicle. The first tire was replaced within the first year of owning the vehicle because the tire was leaking air. The second occurrence was when the tread separated while driving 65 mph. The third and fourth tires developed a bubble.

Bought 6-10ply heavy duty truck tires for my Ford 350, dually, diesel truck & I rotated them every 6 months. When I was in a mall, a passer-by stopped me to tell me my left front tire, on the inside had a huge bubble in it. When I looked, it was around 8 to 10 in. Around & when I stopped, it did not go down, it stayed there. I only had them for about 2 yrs. I bought them from a & k tires on moody blvd. , in flagler beach, FL. 32136 goodyear would not even pro-rate them, I had to buy another tire. Now, I am afraid the other 5 will do the same & as a retiree, I can't afford to buy 6 tires every two years for my truck. I am afraid another bubble will come up on the other tires, but I am stuck with them. If it had blown out on the expressway, there could have been a serious accident, but thanks to a concerned passerby, there was no accident. Hope I am that lucky again, if the other tires go out too.
