NHTSA Complaint #756870 — 1998 JEEP CHEROKEE

WHILE DRIVING,I HEARD A NOISE FROM THE TIRE. WHEN I PULLED OVER, THE TREAD FROM THE CENTER OF THE TIRE HAD COME LOOSE. I DROVE OFF THE HIGHWAY AND HAD IT CHECKED. THERE WAS SBOUT TWO INCHES OF TREAD MISSING. I COULD PUT MY HAND IN THE HOLE AND UNDERNEATH THE TREAD THAT REMAINED. THESE TIRES HAD BEEN BOUGHT LESS THA TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE INCIDENT. THEY WERE BOUGHT AT AND INSTALLED BY A GOOD YEAR DEALER. *AK
