TIRES
HAVING BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE RECENT FIRESTONE RECALL, I FELT IT NECESSARY TO REPORT THIS TIRE BLOWOUT SINCE IT OCCURED ON A BRAND NEW CAR (W/ ONLY 12000 MILES) WITH A NEW SET OF FIRESTONE TIRES (THE ORIGINALS THAT CAME WITH THE CAR) I WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT WHEN THE TREAD COMPLETLY SEPARATED AS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHER FIRESTONE TIRES. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS A COINCIDENCE, SINCE THIS MODEL TIRE IS NOT THE ONE BEING RECALLED, BUT I WOULD LIKE SOME MORE INFORMATION REGARDING THIS POTENTIALLY SERIOUS PROBLEM, AND POSSIBLE TIRE REPLACEMENT.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P185/65R14 )

TIRES
TIRE DELAMINATED AT HIGHWAY SPEED, LESS THAN 8 HOURS AND 250 MILES AFTER BEING CHECKED BY MY NEIGHBORHOOD FIRESTONE STORE. I KNOW OF ATB LEAST 1 OTHER SATURN LS2 OWNER WHO HAD A SIMILAR DELAMINATION. I AM NOW CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THESE TIRES, AS THE PROBLEM IS LIKE THE EXPLORER PROBLEM. I WAS JUST LUCKY NOT TO LOOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR. DON'T KNOW IF THESE TIRES CAME FROM THE DECATOR PLANT BUT THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM SIMILAR TO THE EXPLORER PROBLEN. FORTUNIATELY THE LOWER CENTER OF GRAVITY PROBABLY KEEPS THE SATURN FROM FLIPPING OVER.( DOT NUMBER: ? TIRE SIZE: P205, 65R1 )

TIRES
SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IN NOV. 1999 I HAVE PUT APPROX. 24K MILES ON IT, THE DEALER HAS CHANGED THE TIRES ON THE CAR THREE TIMES. ONE TIME EVERY APPROX 8000 MILES, THE REASON THE TIRES GET CHANGED IS THAT AFTER THE TIRES GET HOT FROM DRIVING THEY BEGIN TO THUMP, THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN THE TIRES ARE NEW BUT AFTER APPROX 6 TO 8 THOUSAND MILES OF WEAR.THE DEALER HAS CHECKED THE CAR BUT CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WHEN THEY DISCUSS THIS WITH FIRSTONE , THEYKEEP CHANGING THE TIRES. OBVIUOS THIS IS CONCERNING!!!!( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P20565R15 )
