TIRES
THIS TIRE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS WHAT IS BEING REPORTED IN THE NEWS FOR FIRESTONES ON FORD SUVS - THE SIDEWALLS COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE TREAD. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO FIRESTONE SHORTLY AFTER THE INCIDENT - REFERENCE NUMBER 018525. THE TIRE WAS SENT BACK TO FIRESTONE FOR EVALUATION, AFTER WHICH THEY REFUSED TO COMPENSATE US OR ADMIT FAULT BASED ON THEIR STATEMENT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSE BY LOW TIRE-PRESSURE. AFTER ADDITIONAL REQUESTS, FIRESTONE PAID FOR OUR TIRE AND RELATED DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE IN THE AMOUNT OF $685.27 WITH CHECK NUMBER 231704, DATED 11-300-1999. I CALLED THEIR HOTLINE TONIGHT TO NOTE THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN MY PROBLEM AND THOSE IN THE NEWS - FORD VEHICLE, TREAD SEPERATING, DOT #S STARTING WITH VD. I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT HELP ME (I REQUESTED REPLACEMENT OF ALL TIRES) AND WAS REFERRED TO THE LOCAL SERVICE CENTER. I WILL BE TAKING THE VEHICLE THERE FOR INSPECTION.( DOT NUMBER: VD111XD119 TIRE SIZE: 24575R16 )
