Pirelli p6 (p225/55 r18) tire failure on interstate 40. The entire tread area & about 1 inch of the sidewall broke away from both sidewalls. The remaining two sidewalls stayed on the rim but the tread came off. The tires are original to the 2006 Ford 500 - with 40k mileage. The other 3 tires appear to be ok. All have been maintained and rotated every 5k miles. Fortunately there was no wreck - I was extremely lucky consider the traffic speed. I retrieved the tread from the roadside after having the tire replaced.

I have a 2007 Ford Five Hundred with continental p215-60r17 tires. On Dec 14, 2007, after my tires had been rotated at town east Ford in mesquite texas, I noticed a large bubble in the right front tire along the seam of the tire. Said tire id# dot code a3kt 3mt 3906. The tires had approx 21,250 miles at the time. They have been rotated at least 4 times since I purchased the car and I can show that the tire inflation is checked regularly when I get the oil changed. Town east Ford told me the tire was not covered under warranty as it was considered road hazard. Originally I was told it was due to potholes, then later that it was due to a nail that caused low tire pressure. I was never informed of a nail, nor did they show me the damage. I contend the tire is faulty; I had to replace the tire at my own cost. I am currently sending correspondence to town east Ford, continental tire, NHTSA, and Ford motor company.

While conducting a weekly inspection and pressure check of my tires, (continental contitouring contact as p215/60r17) a split measuring approximately 2" in length was observed in the sidewall of one tire. The split does not appear to be caused by any road damage or other external force. There is no air leakage associated with the split. The car has been taken out of service and new tires have been ordered to replace this set.
