description: IN AUGUST, WHILE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD THE RIGHT REAR BLEW OUT UNEXPECTEDLY. THE REASON IT WAS UNEXPECTED IS BECAUSE I DID NOT RUN OVER ANYTHING. I REPLACED THE TIRE WITH AN EXACT MATCH AND CONTINUED USING THE TRUCK, ON THE OCT. 24, WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 99N AROUND 7 PM, AT 65MPH, THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE BLEW OUT UNEXPECTEDLY. I FELT THE TIRE WAS AT FAULT IN THE FIRST ACCIDENT, BUT GAVE SUPER SWAMPER THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. NOW WITH THE SECOND ACCIDENT ACTING THE SAME WAY AS THE FIRST, WITH THE ONLY EXCEPTION I WASN'T ABLE TO STOP AS QUICKLY THE SECOND, THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK WAS DESTROYED. THE TIRE SHREADED FROM THE RIM, AND EVERYTHING WAS DESTROYED FROM THAT POINT ON. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT A BODY SHOP AND THE ESTIMATE IS CURRENTLY AT $4500. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THIS COMPLAINT TODAY. THE REMAINING SUPER SWAMPERS ARE GOING TO BE TRASHED ONCE I GET MY TRUCK BACK. I FEEL THAT THE FIRST TWO TIMES WERE THE MANUFACTURERS FAULT, IF I ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN THE FAULT WOULD BE MINE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING IN LIGHT OF THE FIRESTONE PROBLEMS AND THIS PRODUCT BEING THE FIRST RADIAL FROM THE COMPANY.*AK
