2006 Toyota Tundra Tires Problems

Your father experienced a loss of vehicle control while driving when the tread on the driver's side tire suddenly separated from the tire body. He was able to regain control by easing off the accelerator and safely pull over. The tire, which was a replacement and had only about 17,339 miles on it, failed completely with the tread peeling away around the entire circumference near the seam. The tire will need to be replaced, and the cause of the premature tread separation should be investigated by a tire professional.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON 30 SEPT 2006 AT ABOUT 3:00 PM, I JUST HAD MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA LIMITED WASHED AT A FACILITY IN CONROE, TX. I DEPARTED, THERE DROVE ABOUT A HALF A MILE AT A SPEED OF 15-20 MPH AND HAD A BLOWOUT ON THE RIGHT REAR TIRE OF MY VEHICLE. WHILE HAVING THIS TIRE CHANGED BY AAA I WAS ROBBED BY TWO BLACK THUGS WHO TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE DISABLED SITUATION. IT WAS WITNESSED BY THE TIRE CHANGER AND IT WAS SO BOLD THAT WE WERE UNABLE TO GET THE TAG NUMBER OR TOTAL DESCRIPTION OF THE VEHICLE EXCEPT MAKE, COLOR, AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED WITH THE CONROE, TX POLICE DEPARTMENT. TIRES ARE KEPT AT PROPER PRESSURE, MAINTAINED BY ME AND THE TOYOTA EQUIPPED PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. SINCE THIS HAD NO CAUSE EXCEPT FAILURE OF THE TIRE, MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE ON BRIDGESTONE EXTENDED MILEAGE TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE. SO AT 17,000 MILES I WAS FORCED TO PURCHASE 4 NEW DIFFERENT BRAND TIRES TO PROVIDE FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. THIS MANUFACTURERS FLAW CAUSED ME TO GET ROBBED AND PLACED ME IN UNNECESSARY DANGER OF BEING KILLED OR INJURED WHILE OUTSIDE OF A DISABLED VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT BRIDGESTONE SOLD TO TOYOTA A DEFECTIVE TIRE WHICH WAS INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE TO ONLY ASSUME THAT THE OTHER THREE MAY HAVE THE SAME DEFECT. I WANT BRIDGESTONE TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF REPLACING THE ENTIRE FOUR TIRES AT A COST OF $827.73. *JB
