I FAXED THE ARTICLE TO THE SHOP REPAIRING MY TRUCK. HENRY MILLS, MILLS AUTOMOTIVE, MARSHALL, MISSOURI, INSPECTED THE VECHICLE, CALLED ME BACK ALMOST IMMEDIATELY INFORMING THAT THIS SECTOR HAD BROKE ON MY TRUCK. HE CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER, WHO I UNDERSTAND WENT AND LOOKED AT THE VECHILE AND INFORMED MR. MILLS THAT FORD HAD NOT ISSUED ANY BULLETINS ON THE PROBLEM AND COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT AT THIS TIME. I DECIDED I SHOULD BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION. PLEASE KEEP ME INFORMED OF YOUR FINDINGS.I*AK

TIRES
THE FRONT TIRES ON MY VEHICLE HAVE INDENTIONS IN THE TREAD. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A FIRESTONE DEALER TO INQUIRE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND IF THESE TIRES WERE BEING RECALLED OR NOT. THE SERVICE MAN SAID IT APPEARED AS IF THE BELTS HAD BROKEN LOOSE IN THE TIRE. THE MANAGER CAME OUT AND SAID THAT IT WAS NOT A TIRE DEFECT, MY FRONT END WAS OUT OF LINE. (EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE DOES NOT PULL TO EITHER SIDE) THESE DECISIONS WERE REACHED JUST BY LOOKING AT THE TIRES IN THE PARKING LOT. ARE THERE ANY KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THIS TYPE OF TIRE? WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?*AK (TIRESIZE: LT26575R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT26575R16 )
