YOKOHAMA GEOLANDAR X-CV TIRES Complaints

The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Hybrid equipped with Yokohama Tires, Tire Line: Geolandar X-CV, Tire Size: 265/60/R20, DOT Number: 14UOHY6L2462. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 60 MPH, the rear driver's side tire unexpectedly experienced a blowout. A tire message was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact's wife pulled over and had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic, who replaced the rear driver's side tire. The tire was original equipment. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The tire manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The tire and vehicle failure mileage was 5,000.

I own a 2023 Tundra, 4601 miles at the time of incident. While driving at 55mph, the driver's rear tire experienced a blowout. Upon examination, an approximately 100mm vertical split in the sidewall of the tire was evident. Photographs at the time of the incident show no impact to the tire from road debris, nor had I noticed any impacts that would have caused the failure. I had driven all 4601 miles on the truck and at no point had I noticed any observable defects on the tire prior to the sudden rupture. There was no warning prior to the sudden failure of the tire. During the event, I struggled to maintain control of the vehicle until I could bring it to a stop. As of the time of the report (4/18/23, 8:19AM) the tire is in my possession. P265-60R-20 Yokohama Geolandar X-CV.
