Approaching uncontrollable. Pulled off road onto side street. Noted bulge on top of tire. Located a Goodyear tire store in Ames, Iowa. Tire man identified the problem, ordered a new tire (Hankook brand). We spent unintended night nearby in hotel, had tire changed out at Goodyear Tire store, all other tires were inspected by qualified technicians, given a clean bill of health, and we continued on. No warning of impending tire failure. This incident was a second belt failure on same brand of tire within 30 days. First belt failure occurred about 20 days earlier on a same brand, and type tire that had less than 1,000 miles of wear on same vehicle.

Purchased 4 replacement tires for GMC Suburban on December 1999 - Firestone steeltex R4S (outline white letter). All made in Canada. Lots: 30359 ex BM14480-3. at 65 mph the truck shimmied terribly. I returned the vehicle on 5 occasions; for wheel balancing and replacement tires, the last time being 9/27/00. The problem persists. Through many years of experience, I am certain there is a tire problem, rather than vehicle. (I plan to verify with front end alignment, but I believe the problem to be rear tires.) through out the five (5) return trips to the dealer, the 2 rear tires were replace with moderate improvements in the vibration (similar to a tread separation which I have experienced before). The replacement tire lots were; made in Canada 30359 ex BM14480-3 and 32356 ex BM14480-3. please add this complaint and concern to your files and advise if there are other reported incidents on this size tire. I have not had a blowout or tread peel-back, but I strongly suspect there to be a defect in these tires. I pray that if there are reported defects that a recall be instituted immediatly before any deaths occur. Stephan humphrey. (dot number: Tiresize: Lt26575R16)
