I bought new tires two years ago and have roughly 10,000 miles on them.
They are dated at 2012.
I pay close attention to the air pressure and run 80 PSI in them.
On the way home from Patterson the drivers side rear tire became oval.
I believe the belt is coming apart.
I got a new one coming from tire discount direct.
My concern is that the other 5 may be a problem as time rolls on.
I am wondering if anyone else out there has experienced this problem.
I am running BFGOODRICH T/A commercial 225/75-16
They now carry a commercial T/A 2, which makes me concerned that there was a problem with the T/A 1 (now discontinued)
We called BFGoodrich and also Tire Discount Direct.
Never got any "real" answers from either.
So I am asking my fellow GMC'ers
Has this happened to you?
I hate to buy a new set of 6 when they are less than 3 years old, with ALOT of tread still left on them.
No one can guess the future, just curious if this is a strange, or fairly common issue.
Needless to say, I will be paying close attention to my tires, from here on out.
Thanks for being there.
Sincerely,
Glenn Gardner
