3 Tire Tread/belt problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2021

Tire tread bulged from center line of tire tread to outside of tread approximately 1 ft long. I had been highway driving for about 4 hours at 70 mph. Truck started vibrating and was becoming worse. I pulled over and found bulge in tire. I took it about 5 miles to matlock tire in lenior city TN. But by this time the tread was cracking and separating. I was able to get a used tire to bring vehicle home. The service person at matlock tire advised me to replace all the tires. If one did it they probably all are bad. The tires have been very well cared for. They have 7/32 tread across all the tires. Very even ware. No dry rot. They had been rotated and inspected at mckenny chevy in gastonia nc aweek earlier. I had just come through the mountains on route 40 and if the tire had let go it could have been catastrophic. The dot tire number is from one of the other tires on truck. Matlock tire kept bad tire. Attachment is invoice for repair and picture of one of other tires on truck.
