Tire come unglued.

[tourrider]

Last night, on the side of I70 with this. Looks like it come apart. 40k miles

It crazy, I was literally online yesterday searching for my next set of tires.

Looks like Santa is bringing me some Cooper XLTs.

How did the rim take it?

Are you staying stock size or going larger?

I know the voices in my head aren’t real, but man, do they ever come up with some great ideas.

The rim made out good. The way the tire became a big belt protected the rim.

That is the big question. Those 285 on a 20 rim look small on the 3500, but I'm nearly maxed out on towing my 5th wheel, and do not want to sacrifice anything in the towing/load capacities.

The more I research, the more confused I get.

I ripped the OEM Firestone's off my truck as soon as I bought it. Michelin Defender LTX M/S Load Range E are the way to go. Had these on 3 vehicles now won't look at another tire for truck or SUV.

That failure is usually caused by over loading , low pressure and some times a bad tire
With the 5yh wheel get the heaviest capacity tire you can and weight the axles when loaded for your trip
full of fuel , water , food and passengers

Nope, none of the above. Just a bad tire.

Four towing you you need a 10 ply. Not your standard load tire

On the way home from a fishing trip towing my boat my buddies truck blew out a BFG A/T on the rear and all the way around the tread came off except at one end and bashed in the bed side of his low miles very clean 99 Super Duty F-350. If we were closer to home I would have walked the rest of the way he was so po'ed!

Yup. These were E 10, 125/122R rated. Sad part is in this 40k miles, I didn't really work em hard. Mostly towing my car hauler and on occasion move my 5th wheel camper locally.

But they were OEM, and I planned on replacing them the day I bought it. The tire was good on the road, but lousy in mud and snow.

I would never consider a Firestone, I remember back in pre-historic times, the '70's, the old Firestone 500's failures.

Damn Firestones, lol

Oh man that sucks! I was fortunate that mine didn't do any additional damage, but mine did happen at 75 mph while I was on the highway. Rush hour, passing people in the passing lane, just glad I got it under control.

Yeah, I was rolling 75 on I-70. Not much traffic at midnight Saturday night. At first I thought my exhaust was falling off because I heard a low frequency drone. As it got loader, I turned off the radio. Just as I went to look at my temperature gauges, I felt it.

Yep I remember getting a little bit of noise and then BOOM, probably scared the people I was passing at the time pretty good. I won't ever forget that day!

looks like over heated, under pressured, defect tire all came together.
