SUSPENSION IS DEFECTIVE. WHENEVER VEHICLE HITS A BUMP VEHICLE WILL REBOUND TWICE. SHOCKS WILL BOUNCE OFF OF BUMP, INSTEAD OF CONTROLLING IT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS UNDER SERIOUS WHEATHER CONDITIONS, AND CAN CAUSE CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE. *AK

TIRES
I HAVE 3 USA MADE 31X10.50R15LT M/S LOAD RANGE B AND ONE CANADIAN MADE 31X10.50R15LT M/S LOAD RANGE C (DON'T KNOW WHY FIRESTONE DEALER DID NOT PROVIDE ALL LOAD RANGE B'S) TIRES THAT ALL HAVE A CRACK APPROXIMATELY 60% OF THE WAY UP THE SIDEWALL THAT RUNS COMPLETELY AROUND THE TIRE. THE CRACKS ARE DEEPENING OVER TIME. I BOUGHT THESE TIRES NEW AND THEY HAVE BEEN MAINTAINED BY FIRESTONE APPROXIMATELY EVERY FIVE THOUSAND MILES PER THE WARRENTY. I HAVE MAINTAINED MY TRUCK METICULOUSLY AND TIRE PRESSURE IS CHECKED AT LEAST TWICE MONTHLY. I HAVE SEEN THIS CRACK ON MANY WILDERNESS AT III TIRES IN PARKING LOTS. I THINK THESE TIRES SHOULD BE RECALLED ALSO. HTTP://WWW.BRIDGESTONE-USA.COM/NEWS/00815B.HTM SHOWS 137 CLAIMS AGAINST THIS TIRE AS OF 8-22-00 ALREADY AND DOING A STRAIGHT RATIO WITH THE RECALLED TIRES EQUATES TO APPROXIMATELY 6 DEATHS ON THIS TIRE. WHY IS IT NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL? NOT ENOUGH DEATHS YET? AS A MINIMUM THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE UNDER FIRESTONES WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIALS WARRANTY.*AK (TIRESIZE: 3110.5R15L)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 3110.5R15L )
