TIRES
THIS IS THE 3RD ORIGINAL TIRE WHICH HAS LOST IT'S TREAD; THE 1ST TWO IN FEBUARY OF THIS YEAR (SEE PREVIOUS REPORT TO NHTSA). THIS TRIP WAS IN 108 DEGREE TEMPERATURES TRAVELING FROM AUSTIN, TEXAS TO DALLAS, TEXAS. I HAVE BEEN VERY DELIGENT TO CHECK THE PRESSURE IN MY TIRES ONCE A WEEK DUE TO MY TRAVELS TO CONSTRUCTION SITES. MY 4 YEAR OLD SON WAS TRAVELING WITH ME ON THIS TRIP AS HIS LAST SUMMER ROADTRIP BEFORE SCHOOL. LOSING THE TREAD THIS TIME SCARED ME MORE WITH MY SON RIDING SHOTGUN. THESE TIRES ARE STILL NOT ON THE REPLACEMENT LISTS. THE FORD DEALER BLEW ME OFF BECAUSE HE COULD DO NOTHING BECAUSE THE TIRES ARE NOT ON THE RECALL LIST, AND HE SAID HE COULD NOT GET TIRES ANYWAY. THE FIRESTONE DEALER WAS ALSO AS HELPFUL, DOING NOTHING. PLEASE DO SOMETHING FOR OUR KIDS FUTURES, LIKE PUT SOME SAFE TIRES UNDER THEIR PARENTS CARS AND NAIL FIRESTONE FOR THEIR SHODDY WORKMANSHIP.( DOT NUMBER: W 208 IPT TIRE SIZE: P235/70R16 )
