TIRES
I PURCHASED THIS SUBURBAN USED FROM VALENCIA NISSAN WITH 23,000 MILES ON IT. THEY STATED THE TIRES WERE NEW AT THAT TIME. ON THE INDICATED DATE, I WAS TOWING A TRAVEL TRAILER ON THE FREEWAY AT 60MPH, THE TRUCK STARTED TO RATTLE THEN THE LEFT REAR TIRE EXPLODED. I SAFELY STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER. I HAD MY WIFE, 4YR OLD & 2YR OLD IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. AFTER INSPECTING THE TIRE, THE TREAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE IN THE SAME FASHION THAT THE RECALLED FIRESTONE TIRES DID. I WANTED TO KNOW IF THIS SET OF TIRES WAS ALSO UNDER RECALL. I WOULD LIKE IF YOU COULD CALL ME REGARDING THIS MATTER. THANK YOU.*AK (DOT NUMBER: V611B1A TIRESIZE: 245/75R16)

TIRES
THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT ON I 95 WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROX. 70 MPH. THIS CAUSED THE TRUCK TO SWAY BACK AND FORTH FROM THE LEFT LANE THEN BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS LUCKY THAT NOBODY WAS BESIDE ME AT THE TIME. WHEN I PULLED OFF THE ROAD I SAW THAT THE WHOLE TREAD WAS GONE OFF THE TIRE. IT BENT UP THE QUARTER PANEL AND RIPPED THE TAILPIPE OUT OF THE MUFFLER. THE TREAD HAD HIT SOME OTHER CARS AND WAS ABOUT 1/4-1/2 A MILE DOWN THE ROAD. THE TIRES ALL HAVE LARGE BULGES OF UNEVEN TREADS. I CALLED GOODYEAR AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY DONT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES AND ANY WEAR PROBLEMS ARE PROBABLY THE FAULT OF MY VEHICLE. THEY DID SAY THEY WANT THE BLOWN TIRE AND WILL REPLACE IT, BUT WILL NOT REPLACE THE OTHERS. SO THEY ARE ALL IN MY GARAGE WAITING FOR A RECALL. THEY ARE DANGEROUS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CALL ME AT MY WORK #. THANK YOU. *AK (TIRESIZE: 31/10.5/15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 31/10.5/15 )
