There have been posts here about tire brands and quality.
While following my dad back from the farm he had a right rear tire seperation on the highway while doing 70mph. Looked like a waile of a ride to me, he said he all but wound up in the ditch. Good thing I was towing the trailer and not him.
The tire was a older BFgoodrich All Terrain 31X10.5X15. The tire was 1997 production. The truck is parked inside, and he puts very little milage on it. The tire looked fine, with plenty of tread left. Aparrantly the rubber had dried out causing the seperation, though he didn't mention seeing any dry rot on the tire.
We have been running Michelin and BFG tires for ages with no problems until this one.
Pics of the carnage can be seen here.
