TIRES
FOR 3 DAYS IN A ROW I HAVE HAD ALL 4 TIRES AND THE SPARE TIRES, MAKING THAT 5 TIRES ALL TOGETHER DISINTEGRATE. THESE WERE THE WILDERNESS HT SIZE 14 FROM FIRESTONE. NEITHER FORD NOR FIRESTONE WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE. THE STEEL BELTS HAVE COMPLETELY COME THROUGH THE TIRE AND I HAVE CRACKS AND GOUGES IN ALL 5 TIRES. NOONE WANTS TO REPLACE THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE SIZE OF THE TIRE HAS TO DO WITH IT. OBVIOUSLY THE WAY THE TIRE IS MADE IS THE PROBLEM. IF THEY HAVE TO RECALL ANY OF THEM THAN OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM IS WITH FIRESTONE. THEY SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY INSTEAD OF TRYING TO BLAME THE CONSUMER FOR THEIR FAILURES.
