I purchased a pair of Treadwright warden tires for the rear of my wife-??s truck. In less than 100 miles the tread separated from the casing on one of the tires. I caught it before it completely blew out and have pictures. The replacement they sent has a blown sidewall. I mounted it and a bubble started to form that was 1/2-?? high and 3-?? around with just 20psi, operating PSI for the tire is 80PSI. I immediately stopped inflation and contacted Treadwright. They tried to convince me that it was -??overlap-?? and safe to use. I told them it is not over lap and showed them multiple pictures of the tire from different angles to prove it has a blown belt. They still insisted it was a serviceable tire. It-??s not and I have pictures. I-??ve used Treadwright tires for the last 5 or so years. Over the last year and a half to 2 years I-??ve received 6 defective tires. All defects were fatal defects, all being broken belts. That-??s 1 out of every 4.5 tires purchased. If I-??ve received that many fault tires I can be the only one. On top of that the insistence of Treadwright trying to convince people to use fatally defective tires is negligent, reckless and dangerous.

While driving my truck on the interstate and pulling a travel trailer, the driver's side front tire had a blowout without warning. My truck and trailer momentarily swerved but I was able to regain control and pull over to the right shoulder. I heard the remaining tire tread strike the wheel well repeatedly before I could stop the truck. The blowout caused extensive damage to the fender, wheel well liner, battery, headlight bracket, bumper and wiring harness. Aside from the body damage, numerous wires were torn and rendered the truck inoperable. Due to the amount of damage, my insurance carrier deemed the vehicle a total loss. I'm shocked and dismayed that the tire failed. The tires had a 60,000-mile warranty on them, but had been in service for less than 22,000 miles. I checked the tire pressure before starting the trip. My TPMS did not indicate a loss of pressure during my travels. The road was flat and in good condition. I did not strike any objects on the road. Because I was pulling a trailer, my speed was approximately 50-55 mph. Upon further inspection after the blowout, I noticed a large hole in the tire casing. I presume that the tire deteriorated from the inside out, and ultimately resulted in failure. I'm lucky that traffic was light and that I was not near the edge of a cliff or mountain road. Although I lost my truck, this blowout could have had much more serious and dire consequences for myself and others.

While driving my 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 on a four lane highway the front right Firestone transforce tire blew out. The blow out was immediate and unexpected. The truck careened from median to median barely missing another vehicle until I was finally able to bring it under control. I am a very experienced driver, knew not to hit the brakes and believe that a less experienced person may have had a worse outcome. I do have pictures.
