TIRES
14400 MILES ON ORRIGINAL TIRES. LONGITUDINAL SEPARATIONS ON ALL FOUR TIRES FROM 1/4" TO 2" WITH FROM 5 TO ABOUT 20 INDIVIDUAL SEPARATIONS ON EACH TIRE. COMPLAINT #727191 INDICATES THE SAME PATTERN OF FAILURE AS WELL AS THE SAME DOT #. FORD DEALER BLOWS ME OFF AND NO WORD FROM FIRESTONE YET. I'M REPLACING MY TIRES TOMMORROW(05/31/01 AND THEY WON'T BE FIRESTONE!). I STRONGLY URGE ANYONE WITH A FORD SUPER-DUTY AND FIRESTONE STEELTEX TIRES TO REPLACE THE TIRES IMMEDIATELY. AFTER READING THE COMPLAINTS SUMMARIES ON THIS SITE, I'M CONVINCED THESE TIRES ARE AS DANGEROUS AND PROBABLY MORE PRONE TO FAILURE THAN THE INFAMOUS WILDERNESS TIRES.*AK (DOT NUMBER: 008061 TIRESIZE: 265/75/R16)

TIRES
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD A BLOWOUT WITH THESE TIRES. FORTUNATELY THERE HAVE BEEN NO INJURIES, ONLY DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. IF I WAS ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD, OR DRIVING ALONT THE COAST THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SERIOUS. BOTH TIMES VEHICLES HAD TO SWERVE INTO ADJACENT LANES TO AVOID TIRE DEBRIS (AND ME). I HAVE REPLACED ALL FIRESTONE TIRES AT MY EXPENSE. THESE TIRES ARE NOT SAFE. I HAVE A FULL SIZE CAMPER ON THIS TRUCK, AND WHEN A TIRE BLOWS DIRECTIONAL CONTROL IS QUITE DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN. IN OVER 400,000 MILES OF DRIVING I'VE HAD 2 BLOWOUTS. BOTH FIRESTONE STEELTEX AT. *AK (DOT NUMBER: VDOR1WW485 TIRESIZE: 23585R16)
