TIRES:SIDEWALL
I HAVE A99 F250 WITH FIRESTONE 16IN STEELTEX A/T TIRES. I RECENTLY HAD A ROUTINE SERVICE VISIT TO MY FORD DEALER AND TOLD THEM MY TWO RIGHT TIRES LOOK LIKE THE TREAD WAS SEPARATING FROM THE SIDE WALL. AFTER THEY INSPECTED THE TIRES THEY AGREED THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND TO TAKE IT TO A FIRESTONE DEALER IN WHICH I DID. UPON MY VISIT TO FIRESTONE THEY SAID THEY WOULD ONLY GIVE ME 45% REIMBUSTMENT ON THOSE TWO TIRES BECAUSE OF TREAD WEAR. THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY TO ME BECAUSE OF THESE FACTORS, WHICH I EXPRESSED TO THEM: THER IS ONLY 34,000 ON BOTH THE VEHICAL AND TIRES AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT TREAD WEAR BUT THE QUALITY OF THE TIRE; THE VEHICAL IS A 4X4 AND NOT HAVING THE SAME TIRES AND TREAD WEAR CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVETRAIN, THAT IS WHY BOTH FORD AND FIRESTONE RECCOMMENTS TO ROTATE THE TIRES ON A PERIODICALTIME FRAMEAND WHEN IT IS TIME TO PUT NEW TIRES ON THAT THEY ARE THE SAME TYPE OF TIRES;THIS VEHICAL IS ON ATHREE YEAR LEASE AND I EXPECT THE TIRES TO LAST AS LONG AS THE LEASE DOES; THE UNSAFE QUALITY ON THE 15IN TIRES ARE ALSO ON THE 16IN TIRES, BUT IT SEEMS EVERYONE THAT IS ENVOLVED IN THIS FIRESTONE PROBLEM HAS HAD THERE HEADS IN THE SAND ABOUT THE 16IN TIRES. I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING ON THESE TIRES AND HOPE AND PRAY I HAVE NO ACCIDENT. IF YOU CAN ASSIST ME IN ANYWAY PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSLBLE. I HAVE CONTACTED FIRESTONE BUT THEY WILL NOT RESPOND.

FIRST TIRE FAILURE THE TRUCK WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD AND HAD ABOUT 4000 MILES. I WAS DOING ABOUT 60 MPH ON I75 WHEN THE TIRE BLEW. I CALLED THE FORD SERVICE NUMBER AND A SERVICE VEHICLE CAME AND PUT MY SPARE TIRE ON. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE TIRE TO THE FIRESTONE DEALER AT DADELAND IN MIAMI.
