Tell me if you can spot the little problem?
 

Well this morning me and my dad walked out at the same time. I was on the way to get the gf to go to school and he was going to work. He started to drive then stopped. He backed up and i saw the problem right away.






Never hit a curb or anything. tires are fairly new i guess the cords snapped over time or defect. maybe a pothole had done this a while ago and she finally let loose.

haha i have a pic on one of my old cell phone of a tire like that as well...its hilarious and scary at the same time

What brand tire is that?

Yeah I kind of wanted to see it pop lol but its a good year tire.

i have never seen a tire bubble that big lol holy hell...looks like a basketball

Yeah haha I was like oh crap my neighbors basket ball is stuck between the tire and shock, then he rolled back and I saw it was the tire.

This happens when the inner liner of the tire is damaged/cut. For a "prograde" which is a 10 ply "E" load range tire to do this... Is very hard to believe.

Let me know if you need help warrantying the tire.

that is so narly its grossing me out

This...

The Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors in the "Pro-Grade" tire doing that? Thats hard to do on any 10 ply tire...much less on that car.
As said, only way for this to happen is a cut on the inside, causing air to be trapped into teh sidewall.

In other news...I loved those tires

Yeah good tires but this one could be a bad one

Goodyear has a pretty heavy warranty system for that too. I believe the SA's even have 24 hr off-road road-side for 2 years.

thats pretty impressive

Like I said, I would be more then willing to help you get a tire...

A nail in the tire, through the tread, rubbing the sidewall. I'd like to see the inside of it.

Yes, thank you for the offer but I believe my dad wants to get new tires all around. He and the owner started the company. The company is worth a couple million so I'm sure he'll just get new tires. We're placeing a order for the 2011 F-250 in a couple weeks. Luckly the company is worth a good amount, nothing comes out of our pockets for the work truck. I can't wait to see this new truck built all by ford. Fords engine with the 6.7L and like 400 something hp and almost 800trq. The truck with the bad tire is a 08 and has its 3rd 6.4L motor put in. I like ford but that truck is bad lol

wow thats crazy :shock:

that spare tire is just unbelievable!!!

If you want, I can offer discounted rated for fleet companys on tires/oil changes/general service...

ahah i forgot to clear that up sir, the first picture was in the morning when it had happend. my dad put the spare tire on and put the tire with the bubble where the spare tire goes.

I can put a word in about this. my neighbor runs a ford dealership right in philly but if it's better we could use your serivce.

Not to tug on the Nutz of GM...but you knowz I gots to do it.

Ford's all new (third all new diesel engine in 5 years) 6.7 is less powerful then GM's upgraded DMax.
The GM trucks are the most powerful and haul the most weight. New Dmax is 395/765. Ford is 3XX/735? Its teh lamerz, and Ford cheats on its hauling numbers a bit. Since the SD trucks weigh a lot more then GM trucks, they can inflate thier figure a bit more, but GM went back and jacked up the rating to beat them.
GM makes the baddest truck for the last half a decade.

If you're going to whore GM at least try to be somewhat relevant to the thread. That's just spam. :p

well i knew you'd come in with some info lol but i'm not trying to say ford is all that. i know they have some problems and all. i don't really like the new front on the 2011. but yeah i believe it.

He talked about buying a 2011 SD Ford, I just wanted to correct him, thassall!

Even with a nail going sideways, GY still covers the tire and install if I remember correctly. Try selling Road Hazard on those tires was a pita.
