Tire failed when the truck was parked. The brakes do not always apply full braking when the peddle is pushed to the floor. This is not the ABS activating. The braking distance may be 3 to 4 times what it should be. The dealer tested the the brake system and test drove it and said that everything is normal. The peddle travel does not seem to have enough to allow for variations in the system. I believe this is a design defect. (tiresize: P265/75R16)( dot number: Tire size: P265/75R16 )
