| Tl- the contact owns a 2001 dodge ram 3500 with futura adventurer ht p245 75 r16 tires. the contact stated the rear passenger tire blew on the vehicle while it was sitting in their driveway. the contact stated that before they replaced the tire that blew, they had to replace the same model tires because the tread belt split off and both rear tires blew. the contact feels this is a safety issue because of the low mileage of the tires. the failure mileage was 65,000 and the current mileage was 85,000.rl | |||
| TIRES - SIDEWALL | |||

| I had a tire sold by big o tire company on my dodge ram truck. when the truck was parked in my driveway the left front tire sidewall blew out. the truck hadn't been driven in 2 days and showed no signs of a problem on the last days it was driven. the initial explosion was deafening when the outer wall blew and then there was a second, a more quiet, deflation of the actual tire. had this happened while being driven it could have been catastrophic. the company replaced the tire no questions asked and inspected all of the others but the nature of the failure has given myself concerns. *la | |||
