GY should absolutely be liable LarryM. Let's see if I get any results from GY. I will keep you posted. My truck was in the shop for a month too. and Geico is my insurance too. I'm hoping you starting this post, that more and more people will post their experience with that tire and it will force either the insurance company or a class action. OR maybe GY will do the right thing by us. But that is futuristic wishful thinking. Oh and did you get the "parts are hard to come by and we don't know how long it will take to get new parts" story? They don't tap out dents any more. They replace the whole panel.

You are not alone. The same thing happened to me twice. I have a 2020 GMC 2500 HD diesel truck. It barely had 14,000 miles on it when the first front right tire blew and caused over $5000 in damage. Although I was suspicious that a tire tread should not separate from the tire at 14,000 miles, I let my insurance company handle it. I asked for an investigation but they were not interested. That blowout was so severe and the passenger door was so damaged that it could not be opened . I got my truck back in July from the collision specialist and I drove it for one week and I had a second blowout on the passenger rear. Again it’s going to be $5000. And again my insurance company is not interested in helping me or being my advocate. This time I have not filed a claim with my insurance company. Discount Tires, the national chain, has filed a claim to Goodyear in my behalf. They shipped the tire to Goodyear and it is being examined. I was contacted by a Goodyear employee via email to provide some background information. This has only been a week so far. But now that I have been talking to more collision specialist and more tow truck drivers and it is becoming increasingly evident that there is an increase in tire blowouts with 2020 GM HD 2500 pickup trucks that have Good Year TrailRunner AT LT275/65R20 tires. There is something seriously wrong with these tires folks. If you have them I highly recommend you replace them before somebody gets hurt.
