Truck starts to have a vibration and at higher speed gets worse by the time you think it may be a bad tire you may get pulled over before it blows out or it blows doing extensive vehicle damage before you get stopped. Between 04/15/09 to 08/16/12 I purchased 6 uniroyal laredo 265/75r16 tires for 2003 F-350 Ford truck. On 9/15/2910 a tire separated and had a huge knot and adjusted with a new tire. On 8/16/2012 another tire separated and had a knot it was replaced and adjusted with a new tire. Since 2012 every one of the 6 tires has separated and had a knot. 2 blew completely before I could get stopped doing extensive vehicle damage. The left front blew out in may of this year taking me directly into incoming traffic and almost hitting a couple headon on a motorcycle and then ending up in the incoming vechicles road ditch at 65 mph. The tire store reccomended to not use the uniroyal laredos because this has become a common qa issue with this tire. The technician showed me where the tires start to come apart. I left 2 uniroyal laredos on the rear wheels and the tire techinician looked at the tires and he said they still looked operable in less than 2 weeks left rear started vibrating and it had a knot on it. So now all uniroyal laredos have been replaced with bfg tires. 6 out of 6 tires all went bad and the tire stores know these uniroyal tires are defective and yet uniroyal has done nothing to fix the problem or recalled the tire. This is a extremely dangerous safety issue when a tire blows on the front you have no control over the truck your just a bomb heading to incoming traffic.

Reporting bf goodrich commercial ta tires: size 245r7517 this is the 2nd incident involving the bf goodrich tires on the same vehicle. 1st accident (2012) . . . Tire blew-up on right front causing in exess of $3,000 to truck, rim and side board. Type of vehicle is a Ford F-350 super duty dual wheel crew cab. We have used bf goodrich for years until incident #2 on may 20,2013. This incident caused approx. $2,600. 00 on right rear, inner tire blow-out. The tire actually threw the entire tread off leaving the belts on top of the inner tire. After calling bf goodrich, they claim no other complaints have been filed or registered with the 17" bf goodrich commercial ta and I would have to send the tire to them for lab inspection. Prior to this accident, we inspected visually all tires to meet d. O. T requirements. Estimating tread wear,etc, we feel this tire still had around 7000 to 10000 miles before bars would show. We have taken pictures of the tire before sending to bf goodrich. A statement from the driver is available. The tire started making a "thump" sound right before coming apart. I have my doubts this company will replace any tire(s) or assume any damages. It will probably take more severe cases before there is a recall or damages accepted by bf goodrich.
