Ron, I had that happen on my G614's.. darn tire was still aired up with no tread on it as I was changing it.. That was 2012.. I lost 2 of the G614's on 1 trip from PA to FL
.. replaced them ALL on the road because the Tire dealer in Darlington SC was awesome.. gave me a killer deal on all
"I BELIEVE there are 0315" Looks like you need to compare pic 3 to your tires.
GY replaced this tire and two others and I paid a pro rated portion. Then 6mo later the 4th one started doing the same and they replaced it for free. The replacement tires have been solid since.
I had heat/visually checked the tires 15 minutes before I noticed pcs flying off. These tires don't blow if they are part of this group of tires made around the same date they simply loose the center section of tread.
Third pic shows what they start looking like before tread loss.
This is the first GY tire issue I have ever had owning several sets of "E" thru "H" and not even a flat.
If your tires start looking like this Contact GY ask for the number of the GY area rep. Talk to him/her and have them set you up an appointment at a GY "OWNED" store!!!!! Otherwise an Independent will bend you over on the tire price so your pro rated portion will be higher than it could be.
Don't learn the hard way like I did!!!
