PEP BOYS FUTURA TIRES Complaints

HAVING DIFFERENT PROBLEMS WITH TIRES SIZE #P205/60R15. HAD TWO BLOWOUTS. STORE WAS NOTIFIED, AND EXCHANGED THEM TWICE, BUT PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS.*AK

THIS TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO APPARENT REASON AND COMPLETELY SEPARATED, CAUSING THE CAR TO SPIN 360 DEGREES IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC. IT WAS A CATSTRAUPHIC FAILURE WITH COMPLETE SEPARATION OF THE TIRE WITH NOTHING REMAINING BUT THE TWO PARTIAL SIDEWALLS ALL THE TREAD WAS COMPLETELY GONE AND THE STEEL BELTS WERE COMPLETELY SEVERED WITH NO SHREADS LEFT JUST A CLEAN SEPARATION. I AM WORRIED THAT THESE TIRES ARE UNSAFE AND WILL CAUSE OTHER FAILURES AND ACCIDENTS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT!!!!!! PLEASE ADVISE AS TO WETHER THESE TIRES ARE SAFE AND WHO THE MANUFASCTURER IS. I KNOW PEP BOYS MARKETS THEM BUT I DON'T KNOW WHO MANUFACTURES THEM. *AK

EXPERIENCING RADICAL VIBRATION IN THE TIRES, ATTEMPTED TO REBALANCE, TO NO AVAIL, THEN DISCOVERED THAT THE WHEEL WHERE BENT, REPLACE THE TIRES AND THE NEW ONES BEGAN TO VIBRATE.

NO ORIGINAL TIRES ON OLDSMOBILE, CUTLASS, 1993, P205/70R15, DOT VOMONMA386. WHILE TRAVELING AT 60 MPH CONSUMER HEARD TREMENDOUS NOISE COMING FROM VEHICLE. THEN ,CONSUMER SAW RUBBER / METAL AND DEBRIS FLYING ON HIGHWAY. OTHER CARS WERE SWERVING TO AVOID DEBRIS. FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE TREAD CAME COMPLETELY OFF, BUT TIRE STAYED INFLATED.

I HAVE HAD AT LEAST 5 OF THESE TIRES WHERE THE COMPLETE TREAD COMPLETELY SEPERATED FROM THE TIRE.

OUT OF ALL 6 TIRES ORIGINALLY PURCHASED AND THE NUMEROUS PRO-RATED ADJUSTMENTS, ONLY ONE REMAINS IN USE AND HAS REACHED A USE OF APROX. 50K MILES. I REALIZE NOW THAT I SHOULD HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AS I ENCOUNTERED THEM, BUT IT IS NOT EVERY DAY THAT ONE HAS LOADS OF TIME TO TROUBLE SHOOT, FIND ASSOCIATIONS, AND REPORT FINDINGS. ADDITIONALLY I DID NOT REALIZE UNTIL RECENT NEWS REPORTS THAT THESE CAN BE LIFE THREATENING ISSUES.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: *235/85R16 )
