TIRES
I WOULD NOT HAVE CONSIDERED CONTACT HAD NOT THE OTHER FIRESTONE TIRES SHOWN A PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE CAME WITH THE FIRESTONE STEELTEX R4S TIRES. I CHANGED THEM AFTER ABOUT 18000 MILES BECAUSE THEY WERE SO SCARY ON WET PAVEMENT OR SNOW. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN TOLD FIRESTONE USED TOO HARD A COMPOUND IN ORDER TO GET EXTRA MILEAGE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MY FORD AGENCY AND NOTICED THE MODEL TYPE FOR THAT TIRE IS NO LONGER THE R4S. NO DAMAGE OR INJURY RESULTED ALTHOUGH SEVERAL AMUSEMENT PARK RIDES RESULTED, EACH OCCURING WITH DIFFERENT DRIVERS.

TIRES
ON A CAMPING TRIP I AWOKE ON THE MORNING OF 9/30/00 TO FIND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE FLAT. I INSTALLED THE SPARE AND WHEN I GOT HOME SECURED REPLACEMENT GOODYEAR TIRES AND COMMENCED TO INSTALL THEM. PRIOR TO DEMOUNTING THE RIGHT FRONT I INFLATED IT TO DETERMINE WHERE THE AIR WAS ESCAPING. IT APPEARED TO BE ESCAPING IN AN AREA BETWEEN THE TREAD PATTERN. WHEN I DEMOUNTED THE TIRE I INSPECTED THE INTERIOR AND COULD SEE NO EVIDENCE OF A PENETRATION WOUND AND COULD FIND NO TYPE OF FOREIGN OBJECT. IN MY TWO YEARS WORKING AT A TIRE INSTALLATION FACILITY (SEARS) I NEVER ENCOUNTERED A FAILURE OF THIS NATURE. NEEDLESS TO SAY WITH THE EVENTS OF THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS AT FIRESTONE AND MY SUBSEQUENT TIRE FAILURE MY CONFIDENCE IN THE FIRESTONE TIRE COMPANY HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY ERODED. FIRESTONE IS NOW RECALLING SOME SIXTEEN INCH TIRES BUT AS YET HAVE NOT INCLUDED THE 235/85 STEELTEX. I WAS CURIOUS TO KNOW IF ANY FAILURES OF MY SIZE TIRE HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. SINCERELY RICHARD NEITZEL. *AK( DOT NUMBER: VNOR1WW365 TIRE SIZE: 235/85R16 )
