I have a 1999 Lincoln Navigator 2wd with general ameritrac TR tires. Tire size P245/75/16 and the tires have maybe 50% wear on them. I have had both rear tires blow out on the freeway at two different times. I know that I didn't hit anything. Also in both tire failures I first noticed tire vibration, then noise, then the tire blew out. When I first noticed the vibration I was traveling on the freeway at approximately 65 to 70 mph and when the tire finally blew out I was traveling about 55 mph. I have four general ameritrac TR tires in my possession except for the first tire that blew out a couple of months ago. The tires are no longer on my vehicle since I feel they are very unsafe.

The right rear tire blew out. The consumer took the tire to 2 different places and the first mechanic stated the blow out was caused by a road hazard, and the second mechanic stated he was unable to tell, but maybe due to an alignment problem.

My daughter and I both own 1999 Navigator. I have had one tire split and she has already had to replace two and now the third tire is defective. We believe the tires are defective and should be replaced. The tread has split on all these tires.

Continental and the dealer conspired together and my first tire was thrown away in 2 days against my wishes.no safety defect noted.

I was under the impression that the tires would last at least 60 thousand miles, with reasonable care, however we were wrong. Two of the tires now have plugs in them, one of which we are afraid to use, since weve had to have two different dealers put plugs in on two different occasions during a recent trip.

Two original tires 'shreaded' beyond repair within first year. Same defect as Ford Motor Company has experienced with its Firestone tires. The failure appears the same as what has been noted in Lincoln Navigator sold in saudi arabia. (tiresize: 16 inch)( dot number: Tire size: 16 inch )

I noticed a vibration in the steering wheel at approximately 60+ mph. I thought I needed a front end alignment so I scheduled it at the time I had the engine oil changed. After the oil was changed, I was informed the rear right tire was "bad" and the tire was replaced by the dealer free of any cost to myself. I do not have the vibration any more. I am happy with the replacement policy but am concerned with the structual integrity of the other tires. In light of the recall by Continental of only "16" inch tires, I think it might be prudent to review history on the "17" inch tires.( dot number: Tire size: P255/75R17 )

On January 11, 1999 my husband and myself had pulled off the lot of the dealership when we came to the red light about 100 feet away from the dealership. When the light turned green and we proceed thru the light the left rear side of the vehicle went bomb and the tire rolled down the street beside us.
