2008 Ford F-250 Tires

Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires LT275/70R18 D1 I purchased these tires on 11/08/2019. My truck had 166,736 miles it now has around 202,000. I experienced a blow out where the total tread separated from the rear driver side side walls. The tread separated piece was in one piece. As if a re-tread tire. It caused extensive damage to my rear quarter panel among a list of other damaged parts. The tread was on the tires were still in excellent shape.

TIRE HAD A FULL TREAD SEPERATION WHILE DOING 65 ON [XXX] IN BROWARD COUNTY FL CAUSED DAMAGE TO DRIVER SIDE FRONT FENDER AND ALLOY RIM , WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD WITH NO ACCIDENT TIRE SIZE WAS LT275 / 70 R18 AND HAD LESS THAN 12000 MILES I CHECKED THE OTHER 3 TIRES AND A COUPLE HAVE UNUSUAL WEAR WHICH MAY BE STARTING TO HAVE THE TREAD SEPERATE AS YOU CAN A CRACK FORMING WHERE THE FAILED TIRE SEPERATED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

WE OWN A 2008 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY TRUCK WITH BF GOODRICH RUGGED TERRAIN T/A TIRES. ON OR ABOUT 7/5/15, THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE DEVELOPED TREAD FAILURE AS A PORTION OF THE TIRE TREAD BEGAN PEELING OFF WHILE TRAVELLING ON I-75. A SPARE TIRE WAS PUT ON AND THE TIRE WAS REPLACED AND A WARRANTY CLAIM WAS SUBMITTED AS IT WAS STILL UNDER TREAD WARRANTY. ON OR ABOUT 8/21/15, THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE EXPERIENCED COMPLETE TIRE FAILURE WHILE TRAVELING ON I-95, WHICH CAUSED NEARLY $3000.00 IN DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THE BF GOODRICH RUGGED TERRAIN T/A TIRES BUT NOT FOR THE 20 INCH TIRES WHICH ARE THE ONES DESCRIBED HERE. WE FEEL THAT THE 20 INCH TIRES NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR POSSIBLE RECALL AS WELL. THESE TIRES ONLY HAD 37,667 MILES ON THEM AND WERE PURCHASED NEW FROM FORD ON 7/23/12. THIS TIRE FAILURE NEARLY CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHICH COULD OF LEAD TO DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THE TIRES HAVE BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED/INFLATED AND ROTATED. *JS

THE BELTS LOOK AS OF THEY WERE RIPPED APART SIMILAR TO IED EXPLOSIONS EXPERIENCED IN PERSIAN GULF. IT WAS COOL THAT SATURDAY IN THE MID TO UPPER 80'S. ALMOST KILLED ME AS THE VEHICLE FELL TO THE RIM IMMEDIATELY AFTER CATASTROPHIC FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD F-250 EQUIPPED WITH FEDERAL TIRES, TIRE LINE: COURAGIA A/T, AND TIRE SIZE: LT245/75R16 120/116Q. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE TREAD SEPARATED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE MEDIAN. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE TIRE MILEAGE WAS 14,000 AND THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TIRE SEPARATION - FACTORY ORIGINAL TIRES WERE REPLACED FOR THE SAME REASON UNDER A RECALL.

3/13 I BOUGHT A SET OF FEDERAL COURAGIA MT 35X12.50X20 TIRES AND 10 MONTHS LATER THE STEEL BELTS SEPARATED CAUSING TIRE FAILURE. 2/14 I BOUGHT ANOTHER SET OF THE SAME TIRES AND THEY SEPARATED AFTER 8 MONTHS. DOT4113 IS THE SERIAL NUMBER OF THE SECOND SET OF TIRES. I DO NOT HAVE THE SERIAL NUMBER FOR THE FIRST SET. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THESE TIRES TO ANYONE AND WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET COMPENSATED BECAUSE FEDERAL WILL NOT GET BACK IN TOUCH WITH ME. *TR

1. VEHICLE (FORD 250) NORTHBOUND ON I-5, TOWING AN EMPTY 16-FOOT TRAILER 2. CATASTROPHIC TIRE DETREAD OF LEFT REAR TRUCK TIRE (BFGOODRICH COMMERCIAL T/A LT 265/70R17 LRE M+S). 3. ALL TIRES TO BE REPLACED AND BODY SHOP WORK TO REPAIR VEHICLE DAMAGE. *TR

TODAY I REPLACED THE SECOND TIRE FROM A SET OF FOUR LT275/70R18E1 BFG COMMERCIAL T/A A/S TIRES PURCHASED ON NOVEMBER 23, 2010. BOTH TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES OF WEAR BECAUSE OF TREAD SEPARATION. FORTUNATELY, IN BOTH CASES THE ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED BEFORE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE SEPARATION EVENTS HAPPENED ABOUT 3,000 MILES APART. BECAUSE OF THE DANGERS OF TREAD SEPARATION, I WENT AHEAD AND REPLACED THE OTHER TWO TIRES ON THE VEHICLE. BECAUSE THOSE TWO TIRES WERE NOT CURRENTLY EXHIBITING SIGNS OF SEPARATION, THE TIRE SERVICE COMPANY WAS NOT ABLE TO OBTAIN ANY WARRANTY PRORATION. I COMPLAINED IN WRITING TO THE MANUFACTURER AND ASKED FOR A FULL REPLACEMENT SET. I RECEIVED A REPLY THAT BASICALLY SAID FOR ME TO WORK WITH THE TIRE SERVICE COMPANY AND THAT THE ONLY THING THEY WOULD AGREE TO WOULD BE A PRORATION. THIS RESPONSE IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AS IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT TREAD SEPARATION IS THE RESULT OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, AND SINCE TWO OUT OF THE FOUR TIRES FROM THE SAME SET EXHIBITED THIS DEFECT IT IS HIGHLY PROBABLE THAT IT WAS MERELY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE OTHER TWO EXHIBITED THE DEFECT AS WELL. I ALSO FOUND THE RESPONSE TO BE TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE THIS COMPANY HAS A RECALL IN PLACE FOR SIMILAR TIRES AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE FULLY AWARE OF THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS. *TR

DRIVING ALONG A RURAL ROAD AT 50 MPH, TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE, COULD BARELY HOLD IT IN THE ROAD. HAD TIRES CHECKED AT CROSSROADS FORD WHERE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED JUST 5 MONTHS AGO. WAS TOLD THAT CONTINENTAL HAD RECALLED CALLED TIRES ON 2008 F250 TRUCKS BUT TIRES ON THIS TRUCK WERE NOT PART OF THE RECALL. CONTRATRAC P515 46U0 3207. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

MY COMPLAINT REGARDS A DEFECTIVE CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC LT275/65R18 TIRE ON A 2008 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY PICK-UP. ONE OF THE ORIGINAL OEM TIRES DEVELOPED A SHIFTED BELT / SEPARATION AT 43,910 MILES W/ 9/32" OF TREAD LEFT ON THE TIRE. CONTINENTAL HAS AN ONGOING VOLUNTARY RECALL PROGRAM FOR LT275/70R18 TIRES ON 2008 TO 2009 FORD F250 AND F350 VEHICLES. THE DEFECT IN MY TIRE IS ALSO ONE OF THE DEFECTS LISTED FOR THE LT275/70R18 TIRE RECALL. I BELIEVE CONTINENTAL HAS ADDITIONAL TIRES OUTSIDE OF THE DOT DATE CODE WHICH, MAY NOT MEET CONTINENTAL'S PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS IN THE FIELD AND MAY WARRANT AN ADDITONAL REVIEW FOR SAFETY BY THE NHTSA. *TT

WITHIN THE LAST 2 WEEKS I HAVE HAD TREAD SEPARATION ON 2 OF MY TRUCK TIRES. I WAS ABLE TO DISCOVER THE PROBLEM BEFORE A COMPLETE FAILURE DUE TO ABNORMAL VIBRATION AND SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION. THESE WERE CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC LT275 65R18 TIRES ON MY FORD F250. DOT P5B9 1VUB WITH NO APPARENT MANUFACTURE DATE CODE. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED AT 24554 MILES AND THE SECOND AT 26000 MILES. THE TIRES WERE CAREFULLY MAINTAINED, THE VEHICLE STORED INDOORS AND NEVER OFF ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FIRST WITH A REPLACEMENT DOT A3B9 479B 4710. I WILL NOW FIGHT WITH FORD TO REPLACE THE OTHER DEFECTIVE TIRE AND THE 2 THAT HAVE NOT YET FAILED. AFTER REVIEWING THE INTERNET IT IS APPARENT THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS BRAND OF TIRE. I FELT COMPELLED TO REPORT MY EXPERIENCE BECAUSE IT IS CLEAR TO ME THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE BATCH AND IF IT HAS NOT HAPPENED ALREADY, SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET KILLED OR INJURED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR
