4 ASPEN TOURING TIRES PURCHASED IN 8/2015. IN DEC 2015, 1 OF THE TIRES BLEW OUT. BIG O SAID IT WAS SOMETHING OWNER RAN OVER BUT OWNER SAYS SHE DID NOT RUN OVER ANYTHING AND THE BLOW OUT WAS ON THE SIDE NOT ON THE TREAD. OWNER REPLACED WITH NEW ASPEN TOURING TIRE ON 1/14/2016. ON 3/6/2016, OWNER NOTICED A BLISTER ON THE SIDEWALL OF ONE OF THE TIRES. SHE WILL NEED TO REPLACE ANOTHER ONE OF THE TIRES BEFORE IT BLOWS OUT. 2 TIRES IN 6 MONTHS.

I PURCHASED COMMODORE ST-205/75/R15 TIRES FROM BIG O BEFORE HITTING THE HIGHWAY TO GO ACROSS COUNTRY. THEY WERE MOUNTED, BALANCED AND INFLATED BY THE EMPLOYEES AT THE BIG O IN PEORIA AREA, WE THEN HIT THE 17 NORTH TOWARDS FLAGSTAFF. WITHIN 80 MILES THE TREAD RIPPED OFF OF THE TIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHILE DRIVING 55 MILES AN HOUR ON A MOUNTAINOUS HIGHWAY, THANKFULLY I DID NOT HIT ANYONE NOR CAUSED ANY ACCIDENT AS I FOUGHT TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE AND BRING IT TOO A STOP WITH A TRAILER IN TOW. WHEN I MADE IT TO FLAG, RATHER THAN RETURN TO PHOENIX TO TURN AND CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN AGAIN THE BIG O IN FLAGSTAFF CALLED THE LOCATION THAT WE GOT THE TIRE FROM AND AFTER MAKING US WAIT WELL OVER AN HOUR AND A HALF THEY DECIDED THAT THE TIRE WAS NOT GOING TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE WE DID NOT BUY THE WARRANTY, WHICH NEVER WAS OFFERED. THE TIRES TREAD IS INTACT AND NEW, THIS HAPPENED IN 80 MILES AND SHORTLY AFTER BUYING IT ON THE SAME DAY.

I HAVE HAD FIVE TIRE SEPARATIONS WITH THE COMMODORE TIRES. THE DEALER HAS CHECKED TIRE PRESSURES AND THE ALIGNMENT OF THE TANDEM AXLES HAS BEEN CHECKED. THE SEPARATIONS SEEM TO OCCUR AFTER SLIGHT IMPACTS SUCH AS POTHOLES ON THE FREEWAYS OR ROADS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY 65 MILES AN HOUR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IN 2011. MY TRUCK FELT LIKE SOMEONE LASSOED MY BUMPER. I WAS OUT OF CONTROL BUT NO ONE GOT HURT . THANK GOD! WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT AND CHECK MY TIRE, IT STILL HAD AIR IN IT BUT THE TREAD HAD SEPARATED AND WRAPPED AROUND MY REAR AXLE. TREAD WAS STILL ATTACHED TO TIRE ALSO. THE CHEVY 1990 TRUCK HAD ALMOST ROLLED. I NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE! I HAVE GREAT PICTURES OF THIS ! 2ND TIME I WAS ON HIGHWAY DOING 65 AND TREAD SEPARATED AGAIN. THIS IS 2013. THIS TIME TREAD DAMAGED MY REAR FENDER. I HAVE PICTURES OF THIS ALSO. TIRE STILL HAD AIR IN IT. TOTAL TREAD SEPARATION! BIG O TIRE PATHMAX 31X10 50R15LT. BIG O ISN'T BIG O ANY MORE SO I WENT TO ANOTHER BIG O AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE MY TIRE UNDER MY LIFETIME WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WASN'T THERE SHOP! WHAT IS THIS??!! *TR

TREAD SEPARATION. I WAS DRIVING WESTBOUND ON I-580, APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, WHEN THE TREAD ON MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE SEPARATED AND THE TIRE BLEW. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF OTHER AWARE DRIVERS ON THE HIGHWAY WHO ALLOWED ME TO CHANGE LANES AT A REDUCED SPEED. THE TIRE TREAD DAMAGED THE RIGHT FRONT AREA OF MY CAR, CAUSING APPROXIMATELY $4,000 IN DAMAGES, OF WHICH APPROXIMATELY $3,000 WAS COVERED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IS SAFETY, NOT MONEY. I COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED AS A RESULT OF THE TIRE FAILURE. THE TIRE HAD A BIG O TIRES BRAND LABEL BUT IT WAS MANUFACTURED BY COOPER. BEFORE THE INCIDENT, THERE WAS NO ABNORMAL USAGE OR WEAR ON THE TIRE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ACCELERATED WEAR AT THE PLACE WHERE THE TREAD SEPARATION INITIATED, WHICH WAS CAUSED BY THE SEPARATION. COOPER MIGHT BE THE ONLY TIRE MANUFACTURER THAT DOES NOT USE A BELT WEDGE. THEIR HISTORY OF TREAD SEPARATIONS AND TIRE FAILURES, AND TOTAL DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR AMERICAN CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO REMOVE THEIR PRIVILEGE OF DOING BUSINESS IN THE U.S. *TR
