TIRES | |||
03/12/2004 | 25000 | 1 | |
Type of car: 2000 mazda b4000 truck . i was driving down the road at about 30mph, made a right hand turn into a parking lot. moments later i noticed in my rear view mirror a tire lying in the road. turns out my spare tire fell out from underneath my truck. the spare tire carrier cable had snapped allowing the tire to fall to the ground. it's a very good thing this tire didn't come off while i was driving on the freeway the night before. it's alarming to think what could have happened if this had occurred 12 hrs before while travelling at 65 mph.*ak the tire carrier manufacturer is dura automotive systems (www.duraauto.com). i've contacted dura via email letting them know of the failure and they have not responded to my attempts. as of now the parts have not been replaced. | |||

Pe#00020; wilderness ht, p225/70r15, dot#w2uuip629. after having all four tires inspected by a technician, consumer discovered that all four were defective. tires have radial and lateral runout. excessive vibration was felt when driving. tires were the original tires purchased with vehicle. vehicle is a mazda truck, b4000, 2000. | |||

I am concerned since at recommended tire pressure the both the inner and outer ribs are rounding prematurly and it is starting to go out of ballance which deffinately means the tires are changing configuration. why has mazda not been involved in the tire recall since they use the same tires on their vehicles?( dot number: tire size: r15x235 ) |
