On two of our tires the rubber cracked and completely split from the radial around 1/3 to 2/3 around the tire about 0.25" from the wheel rim. This happened on 2 of the 4 tires (all the same dot and installed at the same time.) the rear tires show the initial signs of the same defect but the rubber hasn't separated yet from the radial. The tires have about 45,000 miles on them installed and service by firestone. Luckilly there was not an accident, breakdown, fire, etc; however, it is very suspicious that all four tires have nearly the same defect. I have pictures of the tires. Dot y9bc clhx 3315. Brand prime wall size 205/65/r16 on 2013 honda accord. Located in san diego california.
Driving at 70mph there was a there was a large increase in noise and vibration for a minute followed by a loud bang.inspection revealed that an explosive tire failure had occurred.several places on the sidewall were torn and the tread had bulges on it.the defective tire was replaced.2 months later the same brand and model tire on the other side of the car started to rumble - fortunately at only 45 mph in town.inspection revealed that there was a bulge on the tread so the tire was replaced.since 2 primewell tires on the same axle failed within 2 months of each other, i believe this is manufacturers defect - not just a simple coincidence.
The tread separated from the tire body on a replacement firestone tire. The replacement was made by firestone because of a recall for the same problem. The tire had several thousand miles on it since it was replaced. The tread started separating several weeks before we had it replaced with a goodyear tire.
