TIRES
I DID NOT KNOW WHO ELSE TO REPORT MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE TIRES ON MY TRUCK SO I AM HOPING I AM NOT WASTING YOUR TIME BY FILLING THIS OUT. WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCH IN TO FIRESTONE TO HAVE MY TIRES INSPECTED THEY SAID THEY PASSED INSPECTION, OR IN THEIR WORDS "THEY COULD VISIBLY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM" BUT THEY WOULD NOT GIVE IT TO ME IN WRITING. AFTER I GOT HOME AND LOOKED AT THE FORM THEY HAD FILLED OUT, IT STATED THAT I HAD "REQUESTED NO INSPECTION - MISCELLANEOUS CHECK". WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? AFTER SEEING A CLOSEUP OF A FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRE FROM A WRECK ON THE CBS NEWS I NOTICED THAT THE TIRE LOOKED WORN JUST LIKE MY TIRES ARE WEARING. MY TIRES ARE ONLY 2 YRS OLD, I REPLACED MY ORIGINAL TIRES WITH THE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT IN JULY 1998. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A BIG COVERUP WITH THESE TIRES AND THAT ALL OF THEM SHOULD BE RECALLED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.( DOT NUMBER: W2HL1PY038 TIRE SIZE: 235/75 R15 )

TIRES
PURCHASED THE CAR USED WITH 19000 MILES. THE ORIGINAL SPARE WAS NEW WHEN THE SECOND SET OF TIRES WERE NEEDED. WENT TO FIRESTONE AND SAID SELL ME 3 NEW ONES JUST LIKE THE SPARE. AFTER ABOUT HALF THE LIFE OF THE TIRES OR MORE, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH ON 11-14-98 AT 3:00 AM IN THE MORNING GOING GOOSE HUNTING WITH MY TWO BOYS. ALL THE TREAD COMPLETETLY PEELED OFF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE AND I FISHTAILED DOWN THE INTERSTATE. LUCKLIY NOBODY ELSE WAS ON THE ROAD. THE TIRE DID NOT BLOW OUT AND STILL HAD AIR IN IT WHEN I GOT STOPPED. I CHANGED THE SPARE IN THE DARK WITH A FLASHLIGHT AND WENT ON. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO FIRESTONE AND HAD THE TIRE ADJUSTED. THE NEXT FOLLOWING DAY I NOTICED THE TIRE HAD BADLY DAMAGED THE FENDERWELL ABOVE THAT TIRE. WENT BACK TO FIRESTONE AND COMPLAINED WHY THEY DIDNT TELL ME AND REQUSTED THEY FIX IT.THEY FIRST TOLD ME NOTHING COULD BE DONE WITHOUT THE DAMAGED TIRE WHICH THEY SUPPOSSEDLY THREW AWAY. I CHOOSE NOT TO FIX THE DAMAGE IMMEDIATELY. ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF LATER A LARGE BUBBLE APPEARED ON THE FRONT LEFT TIRE (ONE OF THE THREE PURCHASED WITH THE SECOND SET) WHERE THE TREAD WAS STARTING TO SEPARATE. I TOOK THIS TIRE TO FIRESTONE(SAME PLACE) AND ALSO PAID TO HAVE IT ADJUSTED. AFTER THREATING TO SUE FOR PREVIOUS DAMAGE THEY REFERRED ME TO THE MANUFACTURE IN OHIO (I THINK IT COULD HAVE BEEN ILLINOIS). I TOOK THAT TIRE HOME. AFTER SEVERAL DISSCUSSIONS WITH THE MANUFACTURE I RECEIVED A COMPLAINT FORM GOT 3 ESTIMATES ON THE PREVIOUS DAMAGE AND SHIPPED THE SECOND TIRE TO THEM. IN MAY OF 99 THEY PAID AN ADJUSTED CLAIM OF ABOUT $1200.00. WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF THAT PAYMENT THE THIRD TIRE OF (3) LOST A LARGE PIECE OF ITS TREAD. LUCKILY IT BROKE OFF AND HIT UNDERNEATH THE CAR AND DIDN'T DO ANY DAMAGE. I PAID TO HAVE THIS TIRE ADJUSTED ALSO. I ALSO STILL HAVE THIS TIRE. JUST WANTED TO COMPLAIN AND ENCOURAGE THIS BRAND TO BE RECALLED. HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE ADJUSTED ONES YET, BUT WORRY ABOUT THEM WITH THE RECENT RECALL
