While driving on interstate at 65 mph, I noticed a vibration or rough ride followed by a complete tread seperation and blow out of the right rear tire on my GMC 3500 series long wheelbase savanna van. Tread remained attached to casing scraping a three foot arch on the side fender panel(paint scraped from steel belts and black rubber deposited)and the tail pipe was pulled into the wheel causing it to fold in two at the axle. Debrise from the tire hit several other cars and no accident resulted from this failure. Tire size was 245/75/16e inflated to proper presure five days prior, rotated at regular intervals and visually checked frequently. Dt.

Driving at 65mi hr. --sounded like an explosion car come very close to rolling over--replaced all 4 tires & had to replace a rim.

This tire has DE-laminated, the tread is peeling off. I know of two other people who have the same vehicle with the same tires that have had the same problem. If I were driving at highway speeds and not in a residential neighborhood, it could have very easily caused an accident. Even at 30-35 mph it caused the vehicle to shake violently and swerve all over the road. (tiresize: lt245/75r1).

I had the typical firestone experience except this time it was with a gm model and a different type of tire. The tread on this tire just peeled right off. Luckily, I'm alive to talk about it. Firestone said it was underinflated. I disagree. I used the best and most efficent mechanic in town and he always keeps the pressure adjusted properly for the appropriate season. All the tires were original equipment. I saved the other 3 tires so when you investigate you can tell if my tires were underinflated or not. (dot number: vn11b1a428 tiresize: lt24575r16).

While driving 50mph underside of vehicle was being hit by something going cluck, cluck. Stopped & checked vehi tire with spare.

Tire came apart-did not deflate-considerable body damage. (dot number: 909d tiresize: lt245/75r1).

The tread "peeled off" both tires within 3 days of each other at normal highway driving speed. Thank god that they didn't fail when we were driving on the blue ridge parkway's hairpin turns, or I probably wouldn't be here to send this email. These dunlop tires were installed on 6/14/2000 by tire kingdom. They were replaced this morning with goodrich tires. ( dot number: tire size: p255/70r15 ).

We were coming home from little rock to pine bluff, ar on 9-13-99 when we heard a loud pop. I asked my husband to pull over to see what happened. The rear right tire was completely destroyed----pealed and steel wires poking out. We had not run over anything. It just blew. We were traveling abou 70 mph. The only thing unusual that I remember was going to little rock that morning my husband said that the car sure was riding bumpy. The next day we had the tire replaced at firestone and they prorated it. A couple of months later we bought 3 more new ones (firehawks) so we'd have a complete set of new tires. Has anyone else had this kind of problem with the firehawks. I wonder if they are safe. We still have 3 of the original ones in our garage that still look good to me.

Vehicle came equipped with standard tires which hold about 2300 pounds instead of exload tires which hold 7200 pounds. This was causing a loss of control and premature wear of the tires. Also, label on the driver's door was incorrect. Because of this error , it took 13 months before they discovered what was causing the problem, and went through 9 alignments and several tires.
