| On march 23, 2012, while towing my rv on i16, the tread on the left rear tire of my 2009 f350 peeled off. my factory installed tires were continental contitrac lt275/65r18. according to continental these tires were not a part of recall #11t002000 and yet, given the exact same failure, i wonder if my tires should have been included in the recall. the truck had very low mileage, the tread still had a depth of 11 and the bed load was only 2700 lbs(using cat weight measurements.) of the truck's 4000 lb capacity. the tire pressure, before leaving 2 hours earlier, was at the recommended 80 lbs. after talking to my ford dealer in austin, tx i learned that there was notification 11b24 concerning these tires. had i been notified about this i would have taken action. to this end i had all 5 tires replaced before i again towed the rv. while i was able to regain control of the truck, i could not take the chance of tempting fate another time. as the truck left quarter panel was damaged i did start a claim for repair with continental. based on any response from you i will also request pro-rated compensation for the replacement tires. i saved the failed tire and continental has requested that i send it to them. i will do this within the next week. | |||
