GOODYEAR WRANGLER SR-A(P) TIRES Complaints

Tire: P265 / 60 R 18 On June 25, 2023 at 1100 hrs, the left rear tire began shedding chunks and immediately had catastrophic tread separation. This caused a temporary loss of control narrowly missing collision with other vehicles. When the tread separated at least one large piece did not tear free and acted like a flail significantly damaging my vehicle (left read qtr panel and truck bed). This sudden tread separation was a significant safety risk to me and my passengers. Vehicle was inspected and tires rotated 1 week prior to the incident by a qualified mechanic. No warning lights were illuminated prior to the incident. Mechanics inspected the damage and tires and noted that the matching tire on the pax side shows signs of possible tread separation. Insurance Co was notified and assessment is scheduled.

I HAVE A DODGE 2017 1500 SERIES PICKUP. IT IS EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER SR-A P275/60R20 TIRES. AFTER RETURNING FROM A TRIP I NOTICED THE LEFT REAR TIRE HAD AN AIR LEAK. I TOOK IT TO A TIRE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY REMOVED THE TIRE FROM THE VEHICLE. IT HAD VERY UNUSUAL WEAR INDICATING THE TIRE HAD A BULGE AND THEN SUFFERED A TINY HOLE IN THE TIRE. UPON REMOVAL AND INSPECTION, THE TIRE HAD SPLIT ACROSS THE TREAD ON THE INTERIOR OF THE TIRE APPROXIMATELY 6 INCHES LONG. A REVIEW OF THE NHTSA COMPLAINTS INDICATES THAT THIS SAME SCENARIO OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITH THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE AND THE SAME TIRE.
