2003 FORD E550 Tires Problems

DRIVING EAST BOUND ON I-30 1/2 MILE WEST OF EXIT 121, THE TREAD CAME OFF OF THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT. *TR

FORD FACTORY INSTALLED LEFT FRONT TIRE HAD TREAD SEPERATION AT ~70MPH IN APACHE COUNTY ROUTE 15 IN ARIZONA, A TWO LANE ROAD. FORTUNATE THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC OR COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL, TOOK ENTIRE ROAD TO REGAIN CONTROL. CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MY 2003 F250 EST >$1000, FLAIL TYPE DAMAGE TO FENDER (IT RIPPED THE BOTTOM OF THE FENDER FROM THE BOLTS AND ROLLED THE STEEL FENDER UP INTO THE WELL), DAMAGED THE BUMPER, WELL, ETC. EASILY COULD HAVE CUT BRAKE LINES AND SENSORS, AND COULD HAVE REACHED THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT COMPONENTS INCLUDING STEERING. POSSIBLY COULD HAVE HIT DRIVER WITH OPEN WINDOW. TIRE IS STILL INFLATED, HALF OF TREAD APPEARS INTACT, HALF IS IN SEVERAL PARALLELAGRAM TYPE PIECES.

I HAVE HAD TWO CARLISLE TIRE FAILURES ON MY WEEKEND WARRIOR 3705 SLC 5TH WHEEL TRIALER. ON THE FIRST ONE I NOTICED THE TREAD SEPARATING FROM THE SIDE WALL BEFORE IT ACTUALLY BLEW OUT. CARLISLE REPLACED IT AT10% COST TO ME. THE SECOND BLEW OUT WHILE I WAS PULLING. THEY ARE 22575R15'S. *AK
