Firestone Wilderness At Tires Safety Report | Aug 09, 2000
Reported on Aug 09, 2000
| TIRES ARE SHOWING SIGNS OF CATOSTROPHIC FAILURE. THE TIRES ARE SPLITTING AT THE TREAD /SIDEWALL INTERFACE. ADDITIONALLY THE TIRES STARTED TO THUMP / VIBRATE, AND CAUSE A STEERING WHEEL SHIMMY, AND ALSO CAUSED A LOW SPEED ROCKING OF THE VEHICLE . I CONTACTED TWO FIRESTONE DEALERS, AND A FORD DEALER, BUT THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TIRES. I PURCHASED NEW TIRES (MICHELIN LTX) AND THAT ELIMINATED THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED PROBLEMS.*AK (DOT NUMBER: W2 TIRESIZE: P235-75R15) | |
