2004 FORD F-250 SD Tires Problems

THIS IS THE 8TH SEPARATION OUT OF 11 TIRES THEY HAVE ALL HAPPENED AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING THIS ONE BLOW AND CAUSED ABOUT 2300 DOLLARS OF DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK NOT INCLUDING THE TIRE 3 MILES SOUTH OF IOLA KANSAS COMING FROM INDEPENDENCE MISSOURI IT GAVE ABOUT 3 TO 5 SECONDS OF BOBBLE AND AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO PULL OVER IT BLEW. THIS CAUSED THE TRUCK TO GO INTO THE ON COMING TRAFFIC AND I WAS JUST ABLE TO GET CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND GET IT OFF THE ROAD.BF GOODICH CLAIM THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THIS TIRE BUT I HAVE DISCOVERED WHY THEY SAY THAT. THIS SIZE OF TIRE USUALLY IS PURCHASED FOR JEEPS AND SMALL PICKUP WEIGHING 3000 TO 4000 POUNDS BUT IS RATED FOR E LOAD WHEN YOU USED THE TIRE ON A LIGHTER VEHICLE IT DOES NOT HEAT UP BUT MY PICKUP IS 9000 LBS. BEFORE THIS LAST TRIP I HAD COSTCO CHECK THE TIRES AND AIR PRESSURE THE DAY BEFORE THE TRIP AND I CHECKED THEM ON THE DAY OF THE TRIP. SO I KNOW THEY WERE AIR TO THE REQUIRED PRESSURE. I BELIEVE THE TIRE MUST BE RECALLED AND LOAD RATED NO HIGH THAN C
