  1. No one hurt

    Made Jun 22, 2022, sent to the company Jun 24, 2022, published by CPSC Jul 11, 2022

    The product, in the report: Vee Tire G-Sport MPC Compound. It is a bicycle tire intended for city/commuter/pavement uses. We have experienced dozens of them blowing off of the bicycle rim when inflated to the correct PSI. We have 150 dealers across the USA and multiple dealers have experienced this problem with this tire as well. It is unfit for sale in the US marketplace and a safety concern to all consumers.

    We are an OEM partner of Vee Tire Company, a bicycle tire manufacturer. In our short partnership with them we purchased ~2000 tires from them their “Vee Tire G-Sport 700x39 MPC Compound”. We have had dozens of cases of these tires blowing off of rims which provides a huge safety issue. Upon providing over one dozen photographs, serial numbers, etc Vee Tire has been unwilling to help us rectify this safety issue.
