TIRES
I REPLACED MY FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES ON 7/28/00 BECAUSE OF CRACKS ON THE SIDEWALLS (JUST PRIOR TO RECALL). I SHOWED THIS TO A SERVICE ADVISOR AT TOWNSEND MA. FORD ON 9/25/98 BUT WAS ADVISED FORD DOES NOT WARRANTY TIRES. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW W/SAME TRUCK & TIRES BLEW OUT THE SIDEWALLS OF TWO TIRES WHILE TRAVELING ON DIRT ROADS GOING TO HIS CAMP IN NORTHERN MAINE. WE BOTH BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE P235/70R16 SERIES OF FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRES. ALTHOUGH THEY DO NOT QUALIFY FOR THE CURRENT RECALL PROGRAM, NOR DID THEY EXHIBIT THE REPORTED TREAD SEPARATION PROBLEM, I AM CONVINCED THE "CRACKED SIDEWALL" ISSUE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I WOULD LIKE TO BE NOTIFIED IF A DEFECT IS VERIFIED.( DOT NUMBER: VN08IPU496 TIRE SIZE: P235/70R16 )
