While driving at highway speed, the left rear oem goodyear wrangler 275/65r20 tire experienced a sudden tread separation and catastrophic failure. The tire pressure was correct, there were no tpms warnings or other vehicle alerts, and the vehicle did not strike any road debris or other object prior to the failure. The truck was purchased new in December 2022 and has approximately 14,500 miles. The tread separation caused extensive damage to the truck, including the bedside, bumper, taillight, wheel opening trim, and other components. The body shop repairing the vehicle advised that they have seen numerous similar failures, and I have also found multiple reports from other owners of the same oem goodyear wrangler 275/65r20 tires experiencing tread separations. I am reporting this incident due to concerns about a potential defect in these tires.
