Consumer Description

THE FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL, THEN BOTH REAR TIRES BLEW. THIS SEEMS PRETTY EXTREME FOR TIRES THAT HAD VERY LITTLE TREAD WEAR TO OUT AND NOT PERFORM AS THEY SHOULD. EVEN WITH A TRAILER ATTACHED, THE EXPLORER ROLLED OVER AND WAS UNCONTROLLABLE. THE EXPLORER WAS EQUIPPED WITH A FORD HITCH AND THE TRAILER TOWING PACKAGE. THE WEIGHT OF THE TRAILER WAS UNDER THE WEIGHT SPECIFIED BY FORD, 4990 LBS. THIS ACCIDENT SHOULD NOT OF HAPPENED.*AK (TIRESIZE: P255R75X16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P255R75X16 )
