THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY EQUIPPED WITH RECALL FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRES WHICH WERE REPLACED AT 30K MILES. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER HT TIRES. WITH 38K MILES ON THE TIRE,THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH. THE CONSUMER PROCEEDED TO CHANGE THE TIRE WHEN HE NOTICED THAT THE JACK POINTS WERE LOCATED WHERE THE TIRE HAD BUNCHED UP. ONCE THE CONSUMER FOUND A SUITABLE JACK POINT THE JACK DID NOT ADEQUATELY RAISE THE VEHICLE. *MR *SCC *NLM

I WAS PULLING MY 24' GOOSNECK KIEFER TRAILER WITH MY 1997 V10 DODGE JUST WEST OF DES MOINES. I HEAR A LOUD POPING NOISE AND PULLER OVER TO THE SIDE. A LARGE SECTION OF THE TIRE THE SIZE OF A BOWLING BALL WAS GONE OFF THE TREAD AND THE SIDE WALL. I DROVE TO INDIANOLA, IA AND HAD DOWNEY TIE SERVICE REPLACE THE TIRE. THEY THREW THE TIRE IN THE JUNK AS I THOUGHT I HAD HIT SOMETHING. IN OCTOBER I WAS PULLING MY TRAILER IN ILLINOIS AND HAD A TOTAL TREAD SEPARATION. MY FENDER WAS BEAT TO HELL, ALL OF THE WIRING ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE WAS TOTALLY DESTROYED. IT TOOK 2.5 HOURS TO GET THE TRAILER REPAIRED ON THE ROAD SIDE TO GET IT TO A TOWN TO REPLACE THE TIRES. I WENT TO TAYLORVILLE, IL AND HAD THE BALANCE OF TIRES REPLACED AT LARRY'S SERVICE CENTER. (217-824-9060). HE STATED HE THOUGHT THERE WAS A RECALL ON GOODYEAR WRANGLER HT TIRES BUT HE IS NOT A GOODYEAR DEALER. HE PUT KEELY-SPRINGFIELD 10 PLY TIRES ON AS I DID NOT TRUST THE GOODYEARS AS I HAD TWO TOTAL SEPARATIONS IN 3 MONTHS. I HAVE 4 OF THE 5 TIRES IN MY POSSESSION. I HAVE NOTIFIED GOODYEAR AND THEY WANT ME TO TURN IN THE BAD TIRES TO THEM TO SEE IF THEY WILL HONOR MY DAMAGE CLAIM. I HAVE NOT DONE THIS AS I DO NOT TRUST THEM. I FIGURE THEY WILL GET MY TIRES AND THEN TURN MY CLAIM DOWN. I AWAIT YOUR RESPONSE AS TO WHAT NHTSA IS GOING TO DO.

HEARD THUMPING AND STARTED TO SLOW WHEN TIRE BLEW AND VAN BECAME HARD TO CONTROL. VAN PULLED ONTO DIRT SHOULDER (OF TWO LANE HIGHWAY) AND ALMOST FLIPPED.MANAGED TO GET BACK ONTO ROAD, SLOWED DOWN AND STOPPED. CHANGED TIRE. IT WAS DESTROYED. THE TREAD WAS SEPARATED, AND THE SIDEWALL BLOWN APART IN SEVERAL PLACES ON BOTH SIDES. THE RIM WAS UNDAMAGED TO MY EYE, AND THE BEAD NEAR THE RIM WAS ALSO UNDAMAGED. THE TIRE SHOP REMOVED THE TIRE, LOOKED FOR A CAUSE OF THE BLOW OUT BUT COULD FIND NONE. THE STEEL BELTS AND TREAD WERE COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM CARCASS AROUND 80% OF CIRCUMFERENCE AND PARTIALLY AROUND THE REST.THE "NYLON" CORDS WERE EXPOSED WHERE EVER THE BELTS HAD SEPARATED AND WERE SHREDDED AND PROBABLY CAUSED THE SUDDEN TIRE FAILURE WITH ONLY A FEW MINUTES OF THUMPING AS A WARNING OF IMPENDING FAILURE.WHOLE EVENT PROBABLY TOOK LESS THAN 2 MINUTE. I HAVE MORE OF THESE TIRES IN THE CAR NOW.*AK
