Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE THE TREAD PORTION OF THE TIRE DE-LAMINATED AND SEPARATED FROM THE MAIN TIRE. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK ON THE TIRE AND IT WAS STILL INFLATED IT DID NOT LOOSE ANY AIR PRESSURE BUT THE STEEL BELTS WERE SHOWING. I HAD THE TIRE REPLACED AND THE TIRE TECHNICIAN HAD TOLD ME THAT HE HAD NEVER SEEN A TIRE HAVE THE TREAD SEPERATE FROM THE MAIN BODY OF THE TIRE. I HAVE 4 MORE TIRES ON MY MOTOR HOME THAT ARE THE SAME TYPE AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE TIRES. I HAD VIDEO TAPED THE TIRE WHILE STILL ON THE MOTOR HOME AND I HAVE THE TIRE AND THE TREAD IF IT NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED.*AK (TIRESIZE: 225 75 R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225 75 R16 )
