“I HAVE A 1999 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR 2WD WITH GENERAL AMERITRAC TR TIRES. TIRE SIZE P245/75/16 AND THE TIRES HAVE MAYBE 50% WEAR ON THEM. I HAVE HAD BOTH REAR TIRES BLOW OUT ON THE FREEWAY AT TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. I KNOW THAT I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. ALSO IN BOTH TIRE FAILURES I FIRST NOTICED TIRE VIBRATION, THEN NOISE, THEN THE TIRE BLEW OUT. WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE VIBRATION I WAS TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 TO 70 MPH AND WHEN THE TIRE FINALLY BLEW OUT I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 55 MPH. I HAVE FOUR GENERAL AMERITRAC TR TIRES IN MY POSSESSION EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST TIRE THAT BLEW OUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. THE TIRES ARE NO LONGER ON MY VEHICLE SINCE I FEEL THEY ARE VERY UNSAFE. *NM”

“ON JUNE 30, 2006, WE WERE TRAVELING IN A 1999 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR FROM ARKANSAS TO TEXAS. OUR TIRE TREAD TOTALLY SEPARATED FROM THE WHEEL AS WE WERE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MILES AN HOUR. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. WE HAD THE TIRE REPLACED AT A COST OF $313.01. THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM WE HAD WITH WILDERNESS AT TIRES, WHICH WERE RECALLED. WE BELIEVE THIS TIRE SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR RECALL. THE TIRE IS CONTIENENTAL TRAC AT, P255-75R17-1138, DOT #AD90448477. *JB”
