On June 30, 2006, we were traveling in a 1999 Lincoln Navigator from Arkansas to Texas. Our tire tread totally separated from the wheel as we were going down the highway at 60 miles an hour. Luckily no one was hurt. We had the tire replaced at a cost of $313.01. This is exactly the same problem we had with Wilderness AT tires, which were recalled. We believe this tire should be eligible for recall. The tire is contienental trac at, P255-75R17-1138, dot #AD90448477.

I have a complaint about the tires on my Navigator, they are Continental Contitrac at's the size is P255-75R17 and the dot number off the tire for production time is 129. On Sunday April 13 I was traveling down I-4 from tampa to winter haven Florida at approximately 70 mph when the truck started shaking violently. I pulled to the side of the road and the right rear tire had separated and a large piece of the tire had come off. I put on the spare and drove home, Continental told me to go to tire kingdom which would not help me. I just ask that we have safe tires on our vehicles and this tire company seems to do everything but take the blame for the problem.

I had tread separate on a second tire on my vehicle (the first tire tread seperated about six months ago). This happened while on a freeway traveling at 65-70 miles per hour. A chunk of tread about 12 -16 inches long ripped completely off of the tire. I then had to change the tire on the side of the freeway with cars and truck passing me at 70 miles per hour. This was an extremely scary situation. The passenger in my vehicle was also extremely distressed. (dot number: AD70 449 0 tiresize: P245/75R16)

The tires tread completly separated from the sidewalls. All that was left on the rim after stopping were the two sidewalls standing like doughnuts on the edges of the rim. Other drivers saw chunks of rubber flying out from under the vehicle and thought I had run over a tractor trailer shed recap. (dot number: 70 449 338 tiresize: P245/75/R1)
