Kuhmo road venture at tire 245/75r/16 tread separation. This is the second incident with tires under 10,000 miles for this brand and size tire. The first incident tore up the side of my pickup while towing a 5th wheel trailer. When the second incident occurred, I felt a vibration in the truck and pulled into a roadside rest area. After I stopped and was almost out of the truck, I heard a loud pop and the tire tread had separated ripping the side of the tire out. Again, towing a 5th wheel trailer. In the first incident kuhmo argued for three months that I had driven the tire flat. They finally agreed to replace the tire and repair my truck. These tires are unsafe for highway use.
