Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY 65 MILES AN HOUR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IN 2011. MY TRUCK FELT LIKE SOMEONE LASSOED MY BUMPER. I WAS OUT OF CONTROL BUT NO ONE GOT HURT . THANK GOD! WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT AND CHECK MY TIRE, IT STILL HAD AIR IN IT BUT THE TREAD HAD SEPARATED AND WRAPPED AROUND MY REAR AXLE. TREAD WAS STILL ATTACHED TO TIRE ALSO. THE CHEVY 1990 TRUCK HAD ALMOST ROLLED. I NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE! I HAVE GREAT PICTURES OF THIS ! 2ND TIME I WAS ON HIGHWAY DOING 65 AND TREAD SEPARATED AGAIN. THIS IS 2013. THIS TIME TREAD DAMAGED MY REAR FENDER. I HAVE PICTURES OF THIS ALSO. TIRE STILL HAD AIR IN IT. TOTAL TREAD SEPARATION! BIG O TIRE PATHMAX 31X10 50R15LT. BIG O ISN'T BIG O ANY MORE SO I WENT TO ANOTHER BIG O AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE MY TIRE UNDER MY LIFETIME WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WASN'T THERE SHOP! WHAT IS THIS??!! *TR
