Consumer Description

THE TIRE SEPARATED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. THE SURFACE OF THE TIRE THAT MEETS THE ROAD WAS BEGINNING TO SEPARATE AND IT WAS IN THE PROCESS OF LETTING GO. THERE WAS SEPARATION IN EDGE OF THE TIRE AS WELL. HAD THIS TIRE BLOWN DUE TO THE SEPARATION IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MY TRAILER. GENERAL HAS EXPRESSED NO INTEREST IN THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE NOT OFFERED ANY SETTLEMENT. THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, BUT I FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. *AK (TIRESIZE: LT24575R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT24575R16 )
