PREVIOUS TO THIS DAY THIS TIRE SHOWED NO SIGN OF FAILURE. ON THIS DAY IT BEGAN TO FEEL A LITTLE BUMPY AND RAPIDLY DECLINED IN ITS PERFORMANCE. WHEN IT FAILED IT SHED 1/3 OF ITS TREAD BUT DID NOT BLOW OUT. IN ALL MY YEARS AND MANY TIRES THAT HAVE SEPARATED I NEVER HAVE HAD A TIRE LOSE ITS TREAD. PLUS THEY ALWAYS HAVE GRADUALLY SEPARATED WHICH GAVE ME TIME TO REPLACE THEM. ON THIS TRUCK I ALWAYS USE USED TIRES,AND THUS A LARGE NUMBER OF THEM RESULT IN SEPARATION AFTER A WHILE. I KNOW THE MANUFACTURERS SAY THAT IT DOESNT MATTER WHICH WAY THEY ROLL WHEN MOUNTED BUT I CAN GUARANTEE THAT IT DOES. IF I INSTALL A TIRE OPPOSITE TO ITS PREVIOUS ROLLING DIRECTION WITHIN 6 MONTHS IT WILL SEPARATE, NO MATTER HOW OLD IT WAS WHEN I GOT IT. WHEN THIS TIRE SEPARATED IT DID SO RAPIDLY AND EXPLOSIVELY CAUSING THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME TO SCATTER TO EITHER SIDE. I HAVE THE TIRE IF YOU WANT TO EXAMINE IT. I WILL RETAIN IT FOR A FEW DAYS IF YOU DO. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU DO, THANKYOU. *AK

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
