TIRES
REGARDING THE FIRESTONE TIRE RECALL OF 15" TIRES. ON THE NEWS LAST NIGHT(8/22/00) IN ATLANTA, GA, I SAW A LADY WHOSE FIRESTONE WILDNERNESS AT 16" TIRE SEPARATED FROM ITS TREAD, JUST LIKE ALL THOSE INCIDENTS OF THE 15" TIRE. ON MY 2000 CHEVY TRUCK I HAVE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT 16" TIRES. WHAT IS TO PREVENT THOSE TIRES FROM A TREAD SEPARATION AND CAUSING A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT!!! I HAVE THREE CHILDREN AND A HUSBAND. IT WOULD BE HORRIBLE IF A TIRE SEPARATION HAPPENED ON MY VEHICLE CAUSING MY DEATH. EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY NEW TRUCK LAST SEPTEMBER '99, I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH THOSE FIRESTONE TIRES. ONLY AFTER 4,000 MILES THE FRONT TIRES STARTED CUPPING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOW AGAIN, AFTER 6,000 MORE MILES(AFTER ALIGNMENTS AND TIRE ROTATIONS) THE FRONT TIRES ARE DOING THE SAME THING. I WISH TO CHANGE OUT THESE TIRES TO MICHELIN TIRES, SINCE I HAVE HAD GREAT SUCCESS WITH MY OTHER VEHICLE('96 CHEVY SUBURBAN 4X4) AND ITS MICHELIN TIRES. I'M VERY UPSET AND SCARED TO DRIVE MY 2000 CHEVY TRUCK WITH THOSE FIRESTONE TIRES ON IT. I NEED TO FIND OUT IF FIRESTONE CAN BE MADE TO REPLACE MY TIRES ON MY TRUCK ALSO. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE CAN CONTACT ME REGARDING AN ANSWER TO REPLACING MY TIRES. THANK YOU. SINCERELY, DONNA BROWN( DOT NUMBER: W273 WMB TIRE SIZE: P265/75R16 )
