At freeway speed we heard a loud bang, and the vehicle lifted up suddenly in the rear, followed by a loud slapping sound. I was able to keep control and get to the side of the road. The tire tread had completely separated from the tire. There is no evidence of puncture marks or other damage to the tire. When we got this vehicle from the dealership, I noticed "bulges" in the sidewalls of these tires and asked the dealer and was told this was normal. General should be forced to recall all these tires. Many were put on Windstar minivans and this was a very violent separation that could have resulted in a major accident if someone with less experience was driving, or road conditions were wet or slippery!

All four of these general ameri gs60 genseal tires were in dangerous condition, as certified by two tire dealers, after less than 16,000 miles. The tires had been maintained with proper inflation and rotation throughout their life but both dealers said all four showed dangerous rot on sidewalls and signs of tread separation. General offered to replace all four at no cost but would offer only the same tires as replacement which I declined. I had brought the tires to dealers to have them rebalanced after the vehicle began to shake at speeds of about 75 mph. I declined general's offer because I did not want the same tires back on the vehicle after all four had failed. I believe Ford was negligent in failing to record key facts about the failure of these tires despite my attempts to offer the information on their customer service line. Ford never asked for or accepted information about the tire models that had failed or any other information. They simply referred me to general. The tires were oem equipment when I bought the car.

The cause (per goodyear dealer) was ply seperation where the tread meets the sidewall. ( dot number: tire size: p235-70r15 ).
