Consumer Description

THIS SUPER SWAMPER TIRE IS THE SECOND ONE THAT HAS EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, BOTH WERE FRONT MOUNTED TIRES. I AM GETTING THE TIRE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER MANUFACTURER'S TIRES, BUT I FELT THAT THESE TIRES AND THEIR MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR PROBLEMS. MY F350 IS A FAIRLY HEAVY VEHICLE AND I WAS PULLING A TRAILER WHEN THIS TIRE EXPLOSION OCCURED. AT THE VERY LEAST THESE TIRES SHOULD HAVE A WARNING THAT THEY DO NOT DISSIPATE HEAT SUFFICIENTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.*AK
