TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I AM A CURRENT OWNER OF A 1993 FORD EXPLORER SPORT. AS YOU KNOW THERE IS A NATIONWIDE RECALL ON SPECIFIC FIRESTONE/FORD TIRES. ON MAY 6TH 2000, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE DEFECTIVE TIRES, HEADING EAST-BOUND ON INTERSTATE 4 (I-4) FROM TAMPA, FL TO ORLANDO, FL. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 60MPH IN THE FAR LEFT LANE, NEAR EXIT 16, AS MY TIRE TREAD RIPPED/PEELED OFF OF MY REAR TIRE (DRIVER SIDE), CAUSING ME TO LOOSE TOTAL CONTROL, NEARLY FLIP OVER, COMPLETELY SPIN OUT INTO THE MEDIAN AND STOP FEET AWAY FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC (I-4 WESTBOUND). MY TIRE WAS NOT FLAT AFTER THE INCIDENT, ALTHOUGH THE TREAD ON THE TIRE WAS NEARLY RIPPED OFF. DUE TO THE TREAD RIPPING OFF AND FLAPPING, THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE REAR PANEL OF MY TRUCK. (THE DEBRIS IN THE MEDIAN DAMAGED MY MUFFLER AND TAIL PIPE AS WELL). IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS WAS MORE THAN A CLOSE CALL, I REALIZE THAT THIS WAS A NEAR FATAL ACCIDENT. BESIDES MY BEING BLESSED, THE ONLY REASON THAT I COULD CREATE OF WHY I AM STILL HERE TODAY, IS DUE TO THE WIDTH OF THE MEDIAN. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )
