WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 55 - 70 MPH TREAD ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE CAME OFF. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO CONTROL TRUCK. THIS WAS A BRIDGESTONE TIRE. ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. THERE WAS ABOUT 40,000 MILES ON THE TIRES. *AK THE TIRES WERE BRIDGESTONE 16 IN. WITH A LOAD FACTOR OF C. THE TREAD SEPARATED BUT THE TIRE REMAINED INFLATED. *YH

I AM WRITING TO INFORM YOU THAT I HAVE HAD TREAD SEPARATION ON THREE OF MY ATX RADIAL TIRES. ONCE THIS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE REPLACED ALL MY TIRES NOW BECAUSE THE DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES MADE MY VEHICLE UNSAFE TO OPERATE. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COST OF REPLACING MY TIRES. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )

THE TIRES SHOWED NO OBVIOUS DEFECTS, THEY WERE BALANCED ABOUT A MONTH PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE LEFT REAR TIRE SUDDENLY CAME APART. IT WAS NOT A BLOW OUT OR PUNCTURE.
