| Sigma stampede radials for my 04 tahoe were purchased in feb. 2009 when my truck had 86,000 miles. the tires were supposed to have a 65,000 mile warranty. at 133,00 miles, the front right tire came apart on the interior side wall all the way around with 1 separation on exterior side wall. no injury or damage occurred because i always drive slowly and was on city street at time. inspection of other 3 tires shows many slits/cracks on exterior sidewalls of 2 of 3 tires. seller has done some compensation. however, i think the tire needs to be recalled. the situation of the tire coming apart could be very serious at high speed. *tr | |||

| While drive a 2004 tahoe with approx. 14, 000 miles on tires, proceeding on a smooth, flat secondary road at approximately 35-40 mph, low tire pressure sensor alarm registered on the dash panel. within 30 seconds of the alarm the tire went flat from a sidewal failure of approx. 4 inches long. i drove approx. 1/4 mile on the rim/sidewall to gain a safe place to change the flat. after waiting for over an hour for gm roadside assistance, i changed the tire myself with the aid of a local resident. after contacting gm dealer, northstar chevrolet clifton park, ny, district service director said that the faliure was from road hazard and would not pay for replacement [$181.39]. the service director said the failure was from the outside in, good man could tell this with a tire which was driven on the sidewall for approx. 1/4 mile. i still have digital pictures of damage tire. | |||
