Had a bad experience on I-95 in Connecticut. Doing 65mph in left lane in rain and dark when the truck suddenly shuttered and vibrated. Right rear tire (Dunlop) blew out. Do not think I hit anything. Control of the truck was very good, and I safely changed lanes and pulled off of the roadway.
Called Toyota roadside assistance and AAA was dispatched. Problem arose when the very helpful AAA driver and I couldn’t find the tool to lower the spare. My wife called the Toyota dealer in Milford CT and luckily s sales person went out to a vehicle and found it. It is not where you would expect it to be, but under a panel right behind the rear seats. Looking at the manual, neither I nor the AAA driver could figure out where it was.
Tire was changed and home safe.
Toyota dealer in Westport CT said Dunlop gave a good will credit of $130 and I paid $290.
I do wonder how good (or bad) these tires are? I have run Michelins for many years with no problems.
