Consumer Description

MY TIRES HAVE BEEN WEARING DOWN FOR SOME TIME. I DO NOT DO VERY MUCH HIGHWAY DRIVING, THAT MIGHT BE WHY I DIDN'T HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE. I ONLY HAVE 24000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. I WAS STARTING TO THINK ABOUT GETTING NEW TIRES, THEY WERE WORN DOWN ALOT. TWO WEEKS AGO OR SO I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND FELT A BUMPPY RIDE. WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECK THE TIRES AND FOUND THAT ON THE FRONT LEFT TIRE I HAD A TORN PART OF THE TREAD. I COULD SEE THE STEEL BELT AND THE RUBBER HAD SEPARATED. I WENT AND GOT A NEW SET OF TIRES THE FOLLOWING DAY. THEN A WEEK OR MORE LATER I SAW AN ARTICLE IN THE PAPER FROM YOUR AGENCY ABOUT THE TIRES I HAD ON MY TRUCK. I WISH I WOULD HAVE HAD THE ARTICLE BEFORE THE TIRE WENT BAD, THEN I COULD HAVE IT DOCUMENTED, BUT I DIDN'T. GOOD THING I WASN'T GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT DID HAPPEN AND I HOPE THAT YOU CAN GET OUT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS TIRE. THANK YOU. *AK (TIRESIZE: P235/70R16)
