Description of the problem | We have purchased 20 hifly, lt245-75r16 e range 10 ply tires to use on our fleet of 15 gmc 3500 vans. Year range is between 2007-2014. We are finding separation and bubbling in them. We were advised that "what do you expect from a cheap chinese tire, you got what you paid for.". No warranty or exchange given. I still have 11 on shop floor due to such failures these are very dangerous at highway speeds when the treads and sidewalls bubble and blow out or tread separates, this could cause an accident which could cause loss of control, injury, death or destruction of property. We have purchased cooper tires without the same issues on these units, driving the same speed, weight, and distance. The faulty tires are available for testing and or inspection. |
