Consumer Description

VEHICLE HAD FACTORY ORIGINAL FULL SIZE SPARE GENERAL AMERI550 AS WITH LESS THAN 400 TOTAL MILES DRIVEN HAD TREAD SEPARATION, VIRTUALLY ALL THE TREAD CAME OFF AND TIRE STAYED INFLATED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS TIRE HAD NEVER BEEN DRIVEN ON PREVIOUSLY AND WAS IN AS NEW CONDITION WHEN I INSTALLED IT JUST TWO WEEKS AGO RIM AND ALL WHEN I HAD A FLAT IN MY REGULAR TIRE. AFTER RECOVERING THE TREAD I FOUND THAT THE RUBBER APPEARED MORE BRITTLE AND HAD SUFFERED SEVERE WEAR IN LESS THAN 400 MILES, THERE WERE BITS AND PIECES OF RUBBER MISSING FROM THE TREAD FROM DRIVING ON MY GRAVEL ROAD, THE OTHER TIRES OF DIFFERENT BRAND REMAIN IN GREAT SHAPE AFTER THOUSANDS OF MILES. I COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL EASILY. VEHICLE IS A 98 F150 2WD. *KB
