| Tire Tread/belt problems |
The contact owns a 2021 Ford F-350 equipped with amp tires, tire line: terrain pro a/tp, tire size: p35/12/r24, dot number:04n9mattw. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the vehicle began to shake without warning. As the vibration continued, the contact began to lose control of the vehicle as it nearly swayed off the road. The contact managed to pull to the highway shoulder and upon inspection of the vehicle, the contact' wife discovered a bulge on the center tread of the front, driver side tire. The contact replaced the tire with a spare and drove home. Within two weeks of the initial failure, the same failure occurred on the front, passenger side tire. The contact called the place where the tires were purchased and a mechanic was sent to his home to inspect the tires. The contact was informed that the belts on both tires were popping which caused both failures. The driver side tire was replaced but the passenger tire. The tire failure mileage was 9,000 and the vehicle failure mileage was 34,000.
