The tire is bf goodrich p245/75 r16 109s. i was unable to select the correct tire on drop down box. report as follows. while driving on i-74 i felt a bit of a bump, as if i had run over something. the steering wheel shifted in my hands then went sharply into the right lane. the truck was out of control. as the truck was flipping i saw the guardrail through a side window, the airbags had been deployed by then. the truck kept flipping. the truck then landed on the drivers side door and spun several times, then finally stopped. i was able to remove my seat belt then stand in the truck. i was able to open the passenger door that was in the air, about 10 inches, enough to look out, scream for help and wave my arm. a man then pried the door open enough for me to climb the truck seats and console like a ladder then squeeze out of the door and jump down. after evaluating the truck, the tire tread had come off of the tire, which is still on the truck and inflated.

While traveling northbound on i-75, near lake city, fl., the rear, passenger side tire tread came completely off the tire. the tread damaged the rear, passenger side of my ford ranger truck. fortunately, i managed to pull over to the emergency lane and no one was injured. when my mechanic inspected the rest of the tires he discovered that a half dollar sized chunk of tire was missing from the driver's side rear tire. the condition of this tire, coupled with the other one, forced me to purchase a complete set of new tires. needless to say, i wasn't very happy over this whole incident. i am, however, happy/lucky to be alive and writing this complaint to you. p.s., just fyi, i am still in possession of all four general tires. *tr

Tpms issue, the tpms sensor has failed on the front left tire. this is with 2 years service and 10,850 miles. ford claim they are not covering sensors since they take abuse from potholes and other road conditions. sensors were covered but they have had too many problems so they will not cover them any longer. i asked them to disable the receiver since there is no transmitter. they stated it is a safety system they can't since this is a mandatory safety system i would submit ford has improperly designed the system and it should work at least as long at the warranty. *tr
