While driving to work on the freeway i noticed my 03 f250 crew cab 4x4 started to pull to the left. I realized i was getting a flat. I noticed my rim was damaged(cracked) allowing air to escape from the bead area. The tire was not deflated when i pulled over but in a short time it went completely flat.i was told the wheel was defective. It was replacedand the original tire that was on the damaged wheel was mounted on the new rim. They put the wheel/tire in the bed of the truck . The next morning at apprx 10:00 am(apprx 68 degrees out) the tire exploded.was blown out toward the middle of the sidewall and rippedback toward the tread. The cords and rubber where pushed from the inside out. The tire was thoroughly inspected by more that one professional prior to it being installed on the new rim and they all agreed there was no damage. I did not strike anything and the air pressure was apprx 45 psi. The max air pressure on the tire is 65psi. I took it back to the shop. They dismounted the tire from the new rim and had it inspected by parnelli jones reps. The reps claim i struck something even though there was no evidence to show that(scratches,cuts,bruising etc ). I also know that they are being less than truthful do to the fact i know i didn't hit anything! these tires are 38x15.50-17 are 10 ply and e rated. I asked for an explanation as to how it could blowup while sitting in the back of my truck not under a load. They had no explanation for me other than u must have hit something at one time or another. Ivy never hit anything and ive never off roaded the truck. The inside of that damaged tire also showed signs of the inside rubber splitting from the seems. One of the other tires that is mounted on the truck is cracking on the outside sidewall apprx one half inch above the bead. It runs all the way around the tire and is apprx an1/8" deep. All my other ties appear to be fine. The tires have been on the truck for 6 months. They have10k miles on them.
I now have bought 2 sets of parnelli jones dirt grip tires.i have had 2 inside sidewall blowouts with these tires in the last year.both times, i have had a large load on the tires, carrying a camper and driving at highway speeds.both times it has been a rear tire. The first time the manufacture told me it was tire pressure, or i hit something.the first time, i was sure i did not hit something and had proper pressure.the second time i am sure i did not hit anything and had correct tire pressure.this truck has never been used off road, these tires were purchased for the looks only. This is a very dangerous situation if anyone with large loads uses these tires. I do not think the load rating on these tires is correct. Someone might get killed.*la
