Spare Tire Problems of Jeep Liberty

Tire pressure in all vehicle and trailer tires checked prior to departure on 270 mile trip. Driving 10 mph under speed limit in right interstate lane when, without warning, sidewall of the hankook dynapro at/m tire blew out. Tire mounted on vehicle's right rear. No brake applied. Vehicle's rapid loss of speed and instability caused trailer to go out of control despite new antisway bar. Vehicle pulled/turned rapidly to the right, leaving the roadway traveling approximately 80' before coming to rest 90� to the roadway in the ditch. Trailer broke free from vehicle despite safety chains, antisway bar, and ball lever locked with padlock. Padlock body was broken by the breakaway as were the safety chains. Antisway bar received an approximately 30� curve to the braking bar (reese brand). Violent whipping motion (recorded on front and rear dashcam cameras and by witnesses) caused major damage to the rear of the vehicle when impacted by the trailer. Trailer received some front body damage. Failed tire has been retained. Spare tire installed on site. Tires were a set all with 8/32 tread. (new these tires had 11/32) tires were installed just under 2 years ago. I have installation invoice four 4 tire installation. Illinois state police responded immediately to investigate.

On may 2nd ,2010, my wife and son heard an explosion outside in our driveway. When they went out to see what it was , they found the spare tire on the back of our 2002 Jeep Liberty had blown up. It is a goodyear wrangler tire made in 2002. It has only been used once for a couple hundred miles which brings me to the other reason for my complaint. Last fall while driving to a marlins game in miami as I was accelerating on an on ramp getting on to I 95 the left rear tire exploded through the sidewall and ripped apart. This tire was less than a year old as we had bought a complete set of 4. This tire again was a goodyear wrangler. My wife is now afraid to drive the car and I have a 15 year old about to get his license. I reported this tire failure to your website when it happened. Other than a notice that it was received I really didn't learn anything else. I would like to know if there is an on going problem with these tires as I fear they seem to explode at will for no good reason. Could someone respond.

My son and a couple of his friends and I were traveling to a marlins game ,about a 2 hr. Drive from our house. I had made a visual ck. Of tires while fueling car before getting on I-95. All looked fine. About 3-4 miles as I was getting on I-95 the left rear tire blew out. I pulled off to a safe area and changed tire. Something seemed odd to me so the next day I inspected the tire to see if I could find any reason for the blow out. Tires are not that old and they appeared to have plenty of tread [3/8"]. To the untrained eye all seemed normal as I could find nothing on the tread area that would indicate any damage to that part of tire. The outer sidewall was shredded as I had to drive about a 1/4 mile to get off the on ramp to a safe area to change tire , inner sidewall showed little damage. I recall hitting or running over nothing that would have caused any damage to tire. My concern is that I have these tires on the other wheels as well as spare tire . This is my wife's car and I want to be sure she and my son will be safe. I've had tires go flat before but after making a point of checking them prior to our trip and the odd way they went flat I became suspicious that maybe something is wrong here. I'll have to take them back to dealer for replacement I'll see if they'll allow me to keep tire if you would like to inspect it . Thank you jim dirks . .
