TIRES
THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY. THE TREAD CAME OFF AND THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. I TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE TO REPLACE THE TIRE--THERE WAS NO RECALL AT THE TIME. THE SECOND TIME, 2 WEEKS AGO, THE TIRE TREAD WHIPPED AROUND INSIDE THE WHEEL WELL AND WRECKED MY FENDER AND RUNNING BOARD. I ALMOST GOT RUN OFF THE ROAD AND CAME CLOSE TO A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I THEN PURCHASED 4 NEW MICHELIN TIRES FOR SAFETY SAKE. I CALLED FIRESTONE AND THEIR "CUSTOMER SERVICE " SAID THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS AS THESE TIRES AREN'T UNDER RECALL!! PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE TIRES---PEOPLE WILL GET HURT AND/OR KILLED WITH THEM!!!!! THANK YOU. P.S. AFTER REVIEWING THIS, WE TYPED 0 PEOPLE WERE INJURED OR KILLED, BUT YOUR SYSTEM PUTS IN A NUMBER????*AK (TIRESIZE: LT26575R16)

NOTHING SEEN IN THE ROAD THAT I MAY HAVE HIT, TIRES HAD JUST BEEN SERVICED 1 WEEK PRIOR. (WE ARE EXTREMELY WE DID NOT ROLL OVER) TIRE HAS 4-5 SLITS GOING FROM TIRE BEAD TO TIRE TREAD, AND LOOKS LIKE THE TIRE BLEW RIGHT ACROSS THE TREAD. I DO HAVE THE TIRE, AND RETRIEVED SEVERAL FEET OF TREAD. HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE DEALER, AS I DON'T KNOW WHO MADE IT. OTHER DOT NUMBERS ON THE OTHER 3 TIRES ARE AS FOLLOWS (THE DOT # I GAVE EARLIER APPEARS TO BE CORRECT, HOWEVER, DAMAGE TO THE NUMBER OCCURRED) DOT VDOR 8AC 315, VDOR 8AC 076, VDOR 8AC 076. TIRES HAVE APPROXIMATELY 5000 MILES ON THEM AND WERE PURCHASED AT THE EDWARDS AFB EXCHANGE, EDWARDS AFB CA. 93524, ON 01/05/97.
