I was driving about 65 mph and my truck started to vibrate and then the rear tire blew and I was able to pull over and inspect. Upon inspecting half of the tread had separated and came off and damaged my truck bed. This tire is available for inspection. I am very lucky to have been able to control the truck. Myb9 yr old son was in there and worst case scenario we could have hit other cars or rolled the truck and possibly injuries or death could have occurred. I've read other complaints of the samething happening to other drivers. Michelin had recall on tires similar to this one before for tread separation. Is it related somehow? The truck and tire has been inspected by insurance and auto body shop and NTB tire manager. The NTB manager couldn't say what caused it. They have never seen this kind of blowout before. And recommended to keep pursuing something. But Michelin won't do anything except to buy my actions with a 40% off of new tires. I wish somebody would investigate Michelin. There's so many reports out there on these tires separation and sidewall being blown out. It's going to be very unfortunate for somebody to lose their life because of these tires.
I was driving on route 37 at about 65 mph. All of a sudden the truck started vibrating. I pulled over and got out and checked my tires and lugnuts didn't notice anything. Drove some more and it started vibrating again. I was preparing to pull over again but then the rear tire exploded. Tread separated, caused severe damage to my truck bed. I have the tire for inspection. This could have caused a bad accident on the interstate. My son and I was in danger of wrecking the truck. I'm waiting on the insurance to contact me. No warning lights. I feel like Michelin has had several issues with tread separation before. It look like a tractor trailer exploded. Tire size is 275/65 R20 Michelin LTX A/T2
