TIRES:TREAD/BELT
THE FIRST FAILURE WAS WRITTEN UP BY THE FIRESTONE DEALER AS "SPLITS IN TREAD AREA". IT WAS SPLITTING AROUND THE CIRCUMFRENCE OF THE TIRE. I NOTICED IT WHILE WASHING THE TRUCK. THE SECOND FAILURE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. SOME STONES HAD WASHED ON TO THE PAVEMENT, DUE TO HEAVY RAIN. ONE OF THE STONES PENATRATED THE TREAD AREA, IN THE SAME AREA AS THE OTHER ONE HAD SPLIT. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A VERY WEAK AREA FOR A TRUCK TIRE. I DID NOT CONTACT FIRESTONE BECAUSE I FIGURED THEY WOULD SAY IT WAS A ROAD HAZARD.D( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 31X10.50X1 )

TIRES
I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 35 IN FORT WORTH WHEN MY FRONT LEFT TIRE SUDDENLY BLEW OUT. AFTER PUTTING ON THE SPARE, I EXAMINED THE FAULTY TIRE AND FOUND THAT THE ENTIRE SIDE WALL HAD BLOWN OUT, 360 DEGREES AROUND. THE TIRE STILL HAD SUFFICIENT TREAD. I TOOK IT TO THREE TIRE DEALERS, AND THEY ALL AGREED IT WAS NOT A STANDARD BLOW OUT AND WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE TIRE. THERE WERE NO ROAD HAZARDS AND I WAS TRAVELING IN FAIRLY HEAVY TRAFFIC, BUT I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP AND MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER HEARING OF THE PROBLEMS AND INJURIES/FATALATIES THAT HAD BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PARTICULAR TYPE OF TIRE, I DECIDED TO REPLACE ALL FOUR RATHER THAN TAKE ANY CHANCES WITH MY SAFETY. THE TOTAL COST TO REPLACE THE FOUR TIRES TOTALED JUST UNDER $600. FURTHERMORE, I'VE INQUIRED ABOUT REPLACING THE WHEEL AS IT TOO WAS DAMAGED. THE COST ON THAT IS $368 FROM THE TOYOTA DEALER.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 265 75R 15 )

TIRES
MY TIRES HAVE DEVELOPED "FLAT SPOTS" ON THEM. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE CAR DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A TIRE DEALER. THE TIRE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS THE TRUCK CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND FIRESTONE WOULD NOT COVER THE DEFECT. I HAVE KEPT THE TRUCK MAINTAINED AND TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED. I FEEL EITHER FIRESTONE OR TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT MIGHT BE MORE OF A TIRE PROBLEM SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE OTHER SIZE OF WILDERNESS TIRES.( DOT NUMBER: W2 TIRE SIZE: P26575/R15 )
