MY NEW FORD F-150 HAS ORIGINAL EQUIPPED HANKOOK DYNAPRO AT TIRES. THEY ARE P235 75 R17 WITH THE DOT T79JPCYH (4010). I HAVE A LIFE TIME MAINTENANCE PROGRAM ON THE TRUCK AND THE TIRES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND ROTATED AT APPROXIMATELY EVERY 4400 MILES. WITH 18,500 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND TIRES, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW. IT HAD A CLEAN TEAR FROM RIM TO TREAD. THE TRUCK HAS LOW TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING AND I HAD NO WARNING OF LOW PRESSURE SO I KNOW THE TIRE WAS NOT HEATING UP FROM LOW PRESSURE. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING ON THE STREET ( IT IS A SIX LANE DIVIDED, WELL TRAVELED STREET) AND SUDDENLY WITH A LOUD BANG THE TIRE WENT DOWN. NO HELP FROM THE FORD DEALER ON THIS PROBLEM. THE TIRE DEALER I WENT TO WAS SURPRISED TO SEE PASSENGER TIRES ON A TRUCK. *TR
