| Sunday september 6, 2009 at 11:30 am, i was driving a 1998 dodge ram 2500 pulling a small 6x10 single axle trailer at 60 miles per hour on highway 79 loop in taylor, tx. i had a cooper 265/75/r16 m+t tire on the passenger front with tire pressure of 50 lbs. the tread separated from the tire, but the tire never lost inflation. the tread damaged the panel under the passenger door, dented the front passenger fender, the plastic front bumper cover was torn loose, and the inside fender covers and mudflap was torn loose. i retrieved the tire tread from the road and have the inflated carcass in my possession. no injuries to myself or my wife. i am a professional driver by trade working for smith county texas road & bridge department. *tr | |||

| On 4-21-2006, my right rear tire catastrophically blew out. the entire perimeter of tread separated, doing at least $2,158.80 damage to my truck. i did not lose control and there was no other damage. on 4-22-2006, 234 miles after the first blowout, the left rear tire blew out in a similar fashion. damage this time was $1,896.82. the tires were cooper dominator sport a/t, size lt 265/75-16e. the dot code for both tires was upw8 xdj 3104. the first tire had 22,467 miles at the time of blowout; the second 22,701. in both cases i was heading eastbound on i-40, the first time at mp 259, 14 miles west of santa rosa, nm; the second at mp 122, about 60 miles east of amarillo, tx. both tires were inflated to 80 psi, checked the morning of 4-21-06. my speed for at the first blowout was 60 mph; 53 mph at the second. temperature at the first blowout was 70; for the second was 85. pavement in both cases was smooth, dry asphalt. two identical tires that were properly inflated, were not overloaded, were being driven well under the speed limit, should not blow out like this. there is obviously a serious problem with these tires. *jb | |||
