The contact stated that he had purchased two tires from walmart that were installed in the rear of the vehicle. The contact stated while driving from a complete stop, the vehicle started wobbling. The contact stated that the failure occurred increasingly as he continued driving, causing him to pull to the side of the road. The vehicle was taken to walmart, where it was inspected, and the contact was informed that the rear tires were out of round and the tread had separated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that he needed to drive to the nearest goodyear dealer for the tire replacements; however, the nearest goodyear was 100 miles away. The tires were not replaced. The contact was awaiting a call back from the manufacturer. The tire failure mileage was approximately 200. The vehicle failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

While driving,I heard a noise from the tire. When I pulled over, the tread from the center of the tire had come loose. I drove off the highway and had it checked. There was sbout two inches of tread missing. I could put my hand in the hole and underneath the tread that remained. These tires had been bought less tha two weeks before the incident. They were bought at and installed by a good year dealer.

The left rear tire side completely shredded;no apparent puncture,only 33000. 00 miles on tires/rate of speed was 70 mph, could have very easily resulted in a serious accident for a less experienced driver. Several people that looked at the tire commented that it was not your normal flat tire. ( dot number: tire size: rt/s ).

Consumer was traveling about 70mph, and left rear tire blew out. Later that day right front tire blew out. Tread came off completely six hours after purchasing the tires.
