Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO Z71 4X4 IN THE PASSING LANE ON RT. 460, WHEN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE ( GENERAL AMERITEC TR P265/75-150) BLEW OUT, THE WHOLE SIDE BLEW OUT. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL. THE TIRE WRAPPED ITSELF AROUND THE HUB AND I INJURED MY BACK TRYING TO GET IT OFF . THIS TIRE SEEMS TOO LIGHT DUTY FOR A PICK-UP, THE SIDE WALLS ARE VERY, VERY THIN. ANYWAY, THIS TIRE ONLY HAD 7400 MILES ON IT WHEN IT BLEW OUT AND NEITHER THE MANUFACTURE, NOR THE DEALER WOULD REPLACE IT. I ENDED UP PAYING FOR A NEW ONE MYSELF. BUT, LIKE I SAID, I DON'T THINK THIS IS A SUITABLE TIRE FOR THIS VEHICLE.*AK
