TIRES:VALVE
I HAVE A 2000 FORD F-450 WITH 19.5" GENERAL TIRES. I HAD A FLAT TIRE WHEREBY THE VALVE STEM BLEW OUT. I HAD TO REPLACE THE VALVE STEMS IN ALL TIRES BECAUSE, ACCORDING TO THE TIRE SHOP WHERE THEY WERE REPLACED,THEY WERE THE WRONG VALVE STEMS. THE STEMS WERE NOT FOR HIGH PRESSURE TIRES BUT RATHER REGULAR AUTOMOBILE TIRES. FORD HAD A RECALL BUT ONLY CHECKED TO SEE IF THEY WERE LEAKING. THEY SHOUILD HAVE REPLACED THEM WITH THE PROPER VALVES.*AK

SEATS
HAVING BEEN A DRIVER OF LIMOUSINE COACHES FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, I QUESTION THE SAFETY OF THE PERIMITER SEATING ARRANGEMENT IN THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY STOP OR A CRASH, NUMEROUS INJURIES COULD RESULT. THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE IS USED EXTENSIVLY WHERE ALCOHOL IS A FACTOR AND PEOPLE ARE RELAXED AN NOT TOO CONCERNED ABOUT PERSONAL SAFETY. IF FEEL THAT A FORWARD SEATING ARRANGEMENT IS MUCH SAFER AND THIS TYPE OF SEATING SHOULD BE MADE MANDATORY ON ALL LIMO COACHES.*AK

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
THIS IS MY THIRD FIRESTONE TIRE ON THE SAME VEHICLE. *ON 2-11-04 @EST.1500 HRS IN BAKER CA. MILEAGE 9,950 MILES. *LEFT FRONT TIRE TREAD STARTED TO COME OFF OF FIRESTONE TIRE CASING. IT IS REALLY SAD THAT FIRESTONE ISN'T HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR PUTTING OUT SUCH BAD TIRES. FIRESTONE PER NORMA Y. GRAY MY TIRE FAILURES ARE ALL MY FAULT. NO ONE BUT FIRESTONE CAN KEEP THE RIGHT PRESSURE OR NOT DAMAGE THE TIRE CAUSING IT TO COME APART. I' M BEGINNING TO THINK THIS IS A WASTE OF TIME. *JB
