Commercial tire recall

[Bluebird]

My front left BFGoodrich LT235/85R16E COM AS tire separated internally last Friday. I had bought the front pair at Sam's Club just under 3-years ago approximately 35000 miles on 'em. When I took the truck in to Sam's on Saturday to my surprise I was informed that there was a recall was on that vintage of the tire. 2-front replacements, free! If y'all have the same tires, I'm sure what ever dealer you bought them from, should make 'em good. I was blessed that the tire did not blow, as I heard from the tire crew that they had seen that from this bad-batch of tires.

I've seen a few lately, as the hot weather slowly comes on, that are separating. The driver/owner's want to know what the vibration is coming from in the front end... ..... Try looking at your tires once a week... . or even once a month!! I've seen countless treads and blowouts down here in the last month on the highway..... I even lost one on my baler this morning... . although I'd wager that was more related to the rocky field I was baling.....



"It vibrates really bad!?!? Try driving faster to see if it goes away!!!"



Great idea!! I'll try that!!!



Okay!! I'll see you at your funeral!!
