TIRES
WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THAT MY TRUCK WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT ALL OF A SUDDEN. UPON INSPECTING THE RIGHT FRONT I FOUND THE R FRONT TIRE FLAT. AFTER CHANGING THE TIRE I NOTICED THAT THE TREAD LOOKED LIKE IT WAS STARTING TO COME APART. I RETURNED THE TIRE TO THE DEALER SINCE IT ONLY HAD 900 MILES ON IT AND WAS INFORMED THAT TIRES ARE NOT COVERED BYWARRANTY.I PURCHASSED A NEW TIRE AND CONTACTED FIRESTONE VIA TELEPHONE. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO, BUT AFTER FIGHTING WITH THE REP. SHE PUT ME ON HOLD AND WHEN SHE CAME BACK SHE SAID "THAT FOR COSTUMER SATIFACTION THEY WOULD SEND ME A CHACK FOR HALF THE COST LESS TAXES AFTER THEY RECIVE A COPY OF THE BILL". I FAXED THEM A COPY AND RECIVED A CHECK FOR $47.00 IN A FEW WEEKS. IN MY PHONE CONVERCATION I STRESSED THAT IT LOOKED LIKE THE TREAD WAS COMMING PART BUT THEY DENIED IT AND THAT WAS THE END. NOW THE NEWS HITS THAT THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND STILL REFUSE TO ADMIT IT. I HAVE UNSAFE TIRES AND WILL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE PURCHASS NEW ONE AND SEEK TO FILE A LAWSUIT ON THIS MATTER.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P245/75R16 )

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I FELT A SMALL BUMP THAT I LATER FOUND OUT WAS A SOUP BONE THAT I RAN OVER RIGHT AFTER LEAVING MY TOWNHOUSE. I PROCEEDED TO ROUTE 97 GOING TO WORK. I WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH WHEN I HEARD A NOISE LIKE A HELICOPTER OVERHEAD AND THEN THE TRUCK BEGAN TO WEAVE. I PULLED OVER QUICKLY AND DISCOVERED MY LEFT REAR TIRE TOTALLY OFF THE RIM AND CUT COMPLETELY ROUND THE MIDDLE. AFTER SEEING THE TIRE (WHICH I STILL HAVE) EVERYONE HAS SAID I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AND I AGREE. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO MY FORD DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE TIRE REPLACED AND SINCE THE TIRES WERE DUE FOR ROTATION I HAD THAT DONE. I HAD NO IDEA THAT THIS TIRE WAS CAUSING PROBLEMS FOR OTHERS AS WELL.
