DEAN TIRES Complaints

I BOUGHT MY JEEP ON THURSDAY JANUARY 23RD 2020. WE WENT CAMPING OVER MEMORIAL DAY THE 25TH OF MAY 2020 ABOUT A WEEK LATER MY TIRE LITERALLY SHREDDED AND IT BENT MY RIM, AND CAUSED ME TO TAKE MY CAR IN AND THE TIRE SHOP SAID I NEED ALL 4 NEW TIRES. THE GUY AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY TIRES HAD LOTS OF TREAD LEFT AND THEY WOULD BE GOOD FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR MAYBE LONGER DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH I DROVE THE CAR!

DEAN MUD TERRAIN RADIAL SXT LT265/75R16 MANUFACTURED JANUARY 2006. TIRE'S WITH 22,000 MILES. TREAD SEPARATED FROM CASING CAUSING A BUBBLE, TIRE REPLACED. SECOND TIRE HAD A BLOWOUT THREE WEEKS LATER AFTER TIRE INSPECTION.

SIDEWALL SEPARATED COMPLETELY ON ONE TIRE AND THE TREAD IS SEPARATING FROM THE BODY IF ANOTHER TIRE. BOTH TIRES ARE THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. DEAN MUD TERRAIN SXT M+S LT245/75-R16 DOT ON TIRE WITH SIDEWALL SEPARATION UP11-DNW-0108 DOT ON TIRE WITH TREAD LUG SEPARATION UP11-DNW-0108 FAILURES OCCURRED AT THE SAME TIME ON A 2004 FORD E350 ECONOLINE. DURING FREEWAY OPERATION, OPERATOR FELT A RUMBLE AND SLOWED AND PULLED OVER TO THEN NOTICE THE SIDEWALL HAD SEPARATED. HE THEN ALSO NOTICED THE REAR. CHANGED TIRES TO A DIFFERENT BRAND AND CONTACTED COOPER THE PARENT COMPANY OF DEAN TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL. NO RECALL WAS STATED UNDER THEIR COMPANY. FOUR OF THE TIRES ON THE VAN ARE UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY DIRECTED ME TO CONTACT A LOCAL DISTRIBUTOR TO CHANGE THEM. STILL HAVE THE TIRES AND HAVE YET TO CHANGE THEM OUT. *TR

WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE ON CITY STREETS AT POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 35 MPH, THE TIRE SEPARATED WHERE THE BELT MEETS THE SIDEWALL. APPROXIMATELY 1/5 OF THE BELT SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE CAUSING SMALL CHUNKS TO FLY FREE AND A FLAP OF BELT TO PEEL LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AT REDUCED SPEED UNDER HAZARD WARNING, WHERE THE TIRE WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED BY THE SPARE. *TR

TREAD SEPARATION AROUND 9/10 OF TIRE STEEL BELTS SHOWING. RUBBER SEPARATING FROM SAME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THE TIRES LEAKED AIR SOON AFTER PURCHASE AND AFTER 6000 MILES THERE WAS UNEVEN WEAR. AFTER 25000 MILES THE DEALER INDICATED THAT NEW TIRES WERE NEEDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60000.

WITHIN A ONE WEEK PERIOD, I EXPERIENCED SEPARATION IN TWO TIRES. THE DEALER REPLACED BOTH TIRES PRIOR TO FAILURE, HOWEVER A SEVERE VIBRATION WAS DETECTED PRIOR TO REPLACEMENT. THE TIRES IN QUESTIONS WERE MANUFACTURED BY DEAN TIRE AND RUBBER. WILDCAT RADIAL LT. 265/75R16. DESIGN 8126. OTHER NUMBERS ON THE TIRE ARE 14589-2 AND R5512. *TR

I HAVE A 06 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY, WITH DEAN QUASAR PLUS TIRES DOT UT6V DK9 0406. NOTICED TODAY THAT ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE SEVERE CRACKING ALONG WHERE THE TREAD AND SIDE WALL MEET. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS "WEEK" OF TIRE MANUFACTURING THE 0406. THESE TIRES HAVE ONLY BEEN ON THIS VAN FOR LESS THAN A YEAR AND A HALF WITH NO MORE THAN 25,000 MILES ON THEM. *TR

TIRE IS SIMILAR BUT NOT EXACT TO DEAN TIRE RECALL IN SAME TIME PERIOD. ONLY SELECTION IN DEAN TIRE LIST IS DEAN WILDCAT AT, TIRE ON MY VEHICLE IS DEAN WILDCAT LT. *TR
