1 Tire Tread/belt problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2009

The contact owns a 2002 Ford Taurus. The manufacturer of the tires is big o aspen and the tire size is p215/60r16. The contact stated that the tread on the driver-side front tire separated. She had the tire replaced according to recall# 06t027000 (tires: tread/belt, tire line / tire). After the repair the three remaining tires failed identically. The blow outs increased her risk for vehicle crash. The tire facility denied responsibility for the failures, so she had to bear the expense to replace them. The dot numbers of the tires were unknown. The failure mileage was 53,111. The current mileage is 97,000.

2 Tire Tread/belt problem

Failure Date: 06/28/2007

I purchase 4 kumho 215/60/16 tires in may of 2004 and have put least than 20,000 miles on them when I went out get my car inspected they said that the tires were "junk" extremely dangerous to be on the road because they were cracked and one belt was broken on the right front tire- I feel these tires should be added to the recall list and anyone who purchased them should be reimbursed for there expenses.

3 Tire Tread/belt problem

Failure Date: 01/12/2005

In mid January I was driving my vehicle , 2002 33xi BMW, when I had a blow out of my front left tire. The tires are nokian wr size 205/50r17. I thought I must have hit a pothole or something else to cause the blow out. Yesterday, March 11, 2005 I noticed a bluge on my front right tire ( same make). I called jack williams for a replacement tire and will have the tire replaced at my cost. My concern is that the tires may be defective. I had all four tires replaced on 12/01/04 and have less then 10,000 miles on them. I feel it is too ironic that I have a problem with another tire after having a blow out. I could not find this make of tire on your recall system. Any assitance you can give me would be appreciated.
