Pulled out of my driveway got up to speed of roadway that is 50 mph felt a vibration in the front end, slowed down it went away, so i started to speed up again to see if it came back, then boom my front passenger tire literally blew up, the tread separated and the tire almost blew completely off the rim. I temporarily lost control of the vehicle and skidded to halt on the side of the road tearing up a lawn and almost taking out a guard rail. The tire bent my front bumper and ripped my running board partway off. I am very lucky no other traffic was around me... I changed the tire to my spare and am now in the process of removing the rest of the cornerstones forme my truck, it's not worth the risk
I was towing my fifth wheel trailer when i noticed the truck started bouncing violently. I looked in my side mirror and noticed the rear wheel wobbling, so i pulled over and changed to my spare tire. I continued driving for approximately another 20 miles when the bouncing started again. It was the other rear tire. I had to call someone to bring me another tire in order to make it back home. I am putting (4)new tires on the truck. The truck is a 2001 chevy 2500hd with only 24000 miles on it. Both tires have tread separation on them.
