Tread separations also reported on some Goodyear tires

Tread separations also reported on some Goodyear tires : "-- In July 1997, three U.S. Air Force officers were killed and three were injured when a Goodyear tire on their GMC Suburban came apart, causing the vehicle to roll several times on a desert highway near Riyadh. Court documents showed that in 1997 the U.S. Air Force ordered all Load Range E tires to be removed from its fleet of Suburbans in Saudi Arabia after recording five other non-fatal accidents involving tread separations within a month"
