MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON I-95 SOUTH @ 65 MPH. TRAVELING FROM BALTIMORE MD TO KITTY HAWK NC ON VACATION. SHE NOTICED A VIBRATION IN THE CAR. SHE PULLED OVER AND FOUND THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WAS NEARLY FLAT AND THE SIDEWALLS WERE COMING APART. SHE HAD THE SPARE TIRE INSTALLED AND CONTINUED TO HER DESTINATION. SHE TOOK THE TIRE TO A REPAIR SHOP. THEY SAID THE SIDEWALL FAILED. THEY SHOWED HER WHERE THE OTHER FRONT TIRE WAS STARTING TO FALL APART. THE TWO REAR TIRES WERE ALSO FAILING. SHE HAD TO PURCHASE 4 NEW TIRES. ALL 4 TIRES WERE PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2005. THE TIRES ARE BF GOODRICH LONG TRAIL. ALL TIRES WERE ROUTINELY ROTATED AND BALANCED. I CHECKED THE AIR PRESSURE ON 09/10/09. SHE IS ON VACATION. I WILL TRY TO HAVE HER BRING ONE TIRE HOME AS EVIDENCE. SHE DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPACE TO BRING 4 TIRES HOME. THE TIRES HAVE BETWEEN 7/32" AND 8/32" OF TREAD REMAINING. *TR

VIBRATION AT SPEEDS OF APPROXIMATELY 42, 62 AND 72 MPH, ESPECIALLY WHEN ROAD IS CURVING TO THE LEFT, THAT MAKES THE ENTIRE VEHICLE VIBRATE, SO THAT IT IS UNDRIVABLE. CAPITOL HONDA REPLACED TIRES WITH OTHER TIRES AND VIBRATION WAS NOT FOUND. WHEN ORIGINAL TIRES REINSTALLED, VIBRATION RETURNS. HONDA DEALER BELIEVES THAT THE IMBALANCE IS IN THE TIRES. HAVE TAKEN TIRES BACK TO AMERICA'S TIRE TWICE FOR RE-BALANCE AND THEY HAVE ADDED WEIGHTS EACH TIME, BY ABOUT 1/2 OZ. *TR

DUELER H/T 684 BRIDGESTONE TIRE ON RIGHT REAR OF MY HONDA CRV 03, TREAD SEPARATED WHILE DRIVING OFF EXIT RAMP ON FREEWAY. THERE WAS NO WARNING. TIRE PRESSURE HAD BEEN CHECKED LESS THAN TWO WEEKS BEFORE. THERE WAS PLENTY OF TREAD LEFT ON TIRE. THE TIRE JUST FELL APART WHILE I WAS DRIVING. HONDA DEALER REFERRED ME TO FIRESTONE DEALER WHO REFERRED ME TO A CORPORATE FIRESTONE DEALER WHO GAVE ME A CLAIM NUMBER TO CALL. I EXPECT IF I CALL THEY WILL PRORATE THE TIRE AND SELL ME ANOTHER TO PUT ON THE CAR. MY FEELING IS THAT THESE TIRES ARE NOT SAFE AND I NEED TO REPLACE THEM BEFORE ANOTHER FALLS APART AND NOT WITH BRIDGESTONE OR FIRESTONE TIRES.
