Consumer Description

THIS WAS AN R-16, LOAD RANGE E TIRE. THE 3RD TO DELAM ON US IN THE PAST YEAR. THE TREAD DEPTH WAS STILL HEALTHY ON ALL THREE TIRES. ALL THREE CAME APART AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IN SUMMER WEATHER ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS (TWO IN MONTANA, ONE IN MISSOURI) THEY DE-LAMMED QUITE VIOLENTLY, IN TWO CASES THE BODY OF OUR MOTORHOME WAS DAMAGED. HAD ANY OTHER CARS BEEN IN THE AREA WHEN THE TIRES BLEW APART THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN AT RISK FROM THE DEBRIS. WE MAINTAINED THE INFLATION LEVELS RECOMMENDED ON THE TIRES AND ROTATED THE TIRES EVERY 5000 MILES.*AK (TIRESIZE: LT225/75)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT225/75 )
