TIRES
THIS WAS A TIRE THAT BLEWOUT. THE BLOWOUT APPEARENTLY STARTED FROM THE RIM AND BLEW THROUGH THE SIDEWALL (RIM TO TREAD) ABOUT 7-8 INCHES (SIDEWALL LENGTHWISE). TIRE BLEW WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT AN INTERSECTION. I AM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE BUT DO BELIVE IT WAS JUNE/JULY 2000. I CAN GET THIS INFO AS I CALLED AAA TO ASSIST AND THEY SHOULD HAVE RECORDS. THE TIRE HAS THE NAME FR480 ON THE SIDEWALL AND THE DOT CODE IS VDHL. IS THIS IN ANYWAY CONNECTED TO THE RECENT RECALL AND SHOULD THIS MODEL BE INCLUDED?? ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CONTACT ME.( DOT NUMBER: VDHL TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )

TIRES
THE TRUCK DEVELOPED A SLIGHT VIBRATION THAT FELT LIKE IT WAS IN THE FRONT END. IT WAS. THE TIRE WAS STARTING TO SEPERATE. FIRESTONE WAS CONTACTED AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT THE TIRE. TO CONDENSE THE STORY, FIRESTONE SAID THEY COULD NOT MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE TIRE BECAUSE IT WAS OVER FIVE YEARS OLD. NOTE: THE TIRE(S) HAVE GOOD TREAD AND WERE NOT ABUSED. ALSO, THE TIRES ARE SITTING IN THE GARAGE (FOR MONTHS)STILL MOUNTED AND THAT ONE TIRE IS SELF-DESTRUCTING ON ITS OWN. THE TIRE IS NO LONGER TRUE (ROUND), LOOSING ITS TREAD AND EVEN THE BELT PLYS APPEAR TO BE PULLING APART. THE TIRE: FIRESTONE FIREHAWK ATX 31*10.5R15LT M/S LOAD RANGE B.( DOT NUMBER: VD60AXP235 TIRE SIZE: 31*10.5R15 )

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 )
