FEEL FREE TO PASS THIS TORCH

 

I had the same thing (minus the flipping over) to my General Grabber AT2's.

 

Similar, but not near that bad on my Dunlop Radial Rover RVXT's

 

Holy shizer!

 

There's a picture out there of a Super Swamper with a blister at least 2x that big!

 

That is usually cause by installation. If the mechanic rips the bead of the tire, air can get between the plys and the rubber causing that bulge.

Agreed.

 

This can also happen from hitting potholes or curbs at high speeds, called an impact break. They are usually smaller at first but can grow over time. They're also caused just by defects in the building of the specific tire. Most people don't realize how much can go wrong with their tires and how dangerous it can be.

 

lol,

If mine were to be ever that big, I would just keep on driving it till i got pulled by a cop

I spent 26 years in the tire business and can tell you , Generals were THE WORST tire I have ever seen , for sidewall/tread seperations . I bought a new S-10 in the early 90's and didnt even make it home , brand new General ,kaboom .

 

there's already a part 2, china is selling tires here cheap

 

 

so wait, are you saying that it's bad when a tire does that?

 

 

wow that happen to my cooper discovery AT,2 years ago, now i use goodyear!

 

So is the recall only for a specific store? I purchased my Dean Mud Terrains from Les Schwab. Guess I could call them or something...

as soon as I got home from having my ATR's installed, I went online and regestered them. they have a # like UT1YC8EXXXX. THATS THE NUMBER THEY WILL ASK FOR. this way they will notify you if there's a recall

 

pretty cool huh?


I understand that Pro Comps will be MADE IN CHINA
