While parked at my house, in my driveway, the front right tire exploded. The tire was a Michelin ltx M/S LT245/75R16 the truck had not been moved for 9 days. The blowout left a 14" tear in the sidewall of the tire with shard of rubber clad steel belt material sticking out of the gash. No one was near the truck when the explosion occurred. I hear a loud report at about 11:30am when the tire blew. The temperature at the time was between 75F and 80F.

This is a "load range E" Goodyear tire problem. At 30081, 30805, 35213, and 38060, miles one each of the original equipment tires failed due to sidewall separation and was replaced at varying charges by dealers. Now, at about 50,612 miles, one of the replacement tires has failed for the same reason. Goodyear is giving me a "run around" as has been the case in all previous occurrences variously claiming that the tire is "no longer avaailable" "on backorder" "no longer manufactured" "not adjustable" etc. It has now been two weeks since the last failure was shown to Goodyear, and they claim not to be able to locate a replacement. I have complete documentation of each of these situations, dealer names and locations, and am ready to assist you in whatever way is appropriate. (dot number: MK11 tiresize: Lt24575R16)
