Tire Tread/belt problems of the 1999 Lincoln Navigator

I have a 1999 Lincoln Navigator 2wd with general ameritrac tr tires. Tire size p245/75/16 and the tires have maybe 50% wear on them. I have had both rear tires blow out on the freeway at two different times. I know that I didn't hit anything. Also in both tire failures I first noticed tire vibration, then noise, then the tire blew out. When I first noticed the vibration I was traveling on the freeway at approximately 65 to 70 mph and when the tire finally blew out I was traveling about 55 mph. I have four general ameritrac tr tires in my possession except for the first tire that blew out a couple of months ago. The tires are no longer on my vehicle since I feel they are very unsafe.

On June 30, 2006, we were traveling in a 1999 Lincoln Navigator from arkansas to texas. Our tire tread totally separated from the wheel as we were going down the highway at 60 miles an hour. Luckily no one was hurt. We had the tire replaced at a cost of $313. 01. This is exactly the same problem we had with wilderness at tires, which were recalled. We believe this tire should be eligible for recall. The tire is contienental trac at, p255-75r17-1138, dot #ad90448477.

Tire tread separation at 65 mph, 2nd tire in 6 months. Caused damage to vehicle.

The right rear tire on the consumer's 1999 Navigator lost it's tread cap and as a result the driver lost control of the vehicle. The right rear tire was flat with no outward signs of impact or sidewall damage. As a result of the tire(continental contitrac a/t tire 205/75sr 17 radial tire).

Checked pressure at 40 # at 9am. Left on a trip at 1130. At 1150 there developed a heavy vibration at 70 mph. Slowed to 45 and the right rear suffered complete tread separation damaging the right rear during separation. Old tread is still on shoulder of i75, rest of tire replaced in tampa at a goodyear dealership.

While driving 65 mph the right rear tire tread separated. The cause was undetermined.

I have a complaint about the tires on my Navigator, they are continental contitrac at's the size is p255-75r17 and the dot number off the tire for production time is 129. On Sunday April 13 I was traveling down I-4 from tampa to winter haven florida at approximately 70 mph when the truck started shaking violently. I pulled to the side of the road and the right rear tire had separated and a large piece of the tire had come off. I put on the spare and drove home, continental told me to go to tire kingdom which would not help me. I just ask that we have safe tires on our vehicles and this tire company seems to do everything but take the blame for the problem.

While driving, the tread of the left rear tire separated from the tire, the consumer is requesting reimbursement per the customer satisfaction program (continental contitrac as, p245/75r16, dot #ad70449387). Nlm.

We had a tire-tread separtation incident on our Lincoln Navigator with the original continental tires. . I reported to company, but I do not know if they reported it to you. Call me with any additional questions. (dot number: ad70449247 tiresize: p245/75r16).

I had tread separate on a second tire on my vehicle (the first tire tread seperated about six months ago). This happened while on a freeway traveling at 65-70 miles per hour. A chunk of tread about 12 -16 inches long ripped completely off of the tire. I then had to change the tire on the side of the freeway with cars and truck passing me at 70 miles per hour. This was an extremely scary situation. The passenger in my vehicle was also extremely distressed. (dot number: ad70 449 0 tiresize: p245/75r16).

The tires tread completly separated from the sidewalls. All that was left on the rim after stopping were the two sidewalls standing like doughnuts on the edges of the rim. Other drivers saw chunks of rubber flying out from under the vehicle and thought I had run over a tractor trailer shed recap. (dot number: 70 449 338 tiresize: p245/75/r1).

The continental contitrac at p255/75r17 tire on the vehicle experienced blowout from tread separation which caused damage to the vehicle.

Tread separated from carcass at speed, difficult to control vehicle, but luckily it was right rear and I felt it starting to go and slowed before total tread separation( dot number: tire size: 255/75r-17 ).

Continental contitrac as 16" tires experienced tread separation.

Tread seperated from tire( dot number: ).
