TreadWright Tires treadwright.com; TreadWright Product failure resulted in property damage Houston Texas
One of the seven (7) retread tires that I purchased from TreadWright failed within the first 200 miles resulting in damage to both my tow vehicle and the trailer that I was towing. The failure occurred on the right rear tire at a speed of approximately 50 miles per hour causing body damage to the right rear fender of the tow vehicle and the lower front of the RV that was being towed. A second failure occurred approximately 150 miles later on the front left tire but I was able to get slowed down to 25 miles per hour before the tire gave out.
I filled out an on-line claim due to the failed tire and submitted pictures of both failures. I followed this up with an email to support@treadwright.com and have heard nothing from them. I was not expecting any compensation for my vehicle damage but was hoping reimbursement was available for the two failed tires! Following this incident I removed all remaining tires and replaced them with new. Both the two failed tires and the remaining tires purchased from TreadWright sit stacked in my garage.
Since I heard nothing from TreadWrght I then filled out a buyer-beware review on the treadwright.com website warning prospective purchasers of the danger of buying retread tires. This review was removed within five minutes and I was blocked from accessing the TreadWright review portal.
