Over the coures of several years I had 5 out of 8 of these tires slip their belts before firestone acknowledged a problem and replaced them with bridgestone equivalents. My wifes van still has them on and she suffered a catastrophic tire failure last year on the highway. *ak (tiresize: 30x9.50r15)( dot number: tire size: 30x9.50r15 )
While driving the vehicle developed a shimmy, by reducing speed the consumer was able to control the vehicle, upon inspection consumer found out that the left rear tire belt separated and took the tire to firestone dealer where he was told that the tire was not included in recall 00t-005, consumer replaced all four tires with different brand.

I was traveling on I-5 in irvine, california when my vehicle began to vibrate & the left rear tire disintegrated. Upon further inspection, 1 of the remaining 3 tires was determined to be defective. Bridgestone/firestone settled my claim for the cost of bodywork and replaced all 4 tires. I am concerned that the problems reported with atx & atx ii tires are not isolated to those models. My experience was identical to those related to atx & atxii failures. I strongly suggest that the federal safety agency's investigation into bridgestone/firestone tires be extended to include the deuler ht lt265/75r16 model for safety assurance.( dot number: tire size: lt26575r16 )
After hitting a bump and then applying the brakes the vehicle seems to hydroplane. Tt
