Our tire shredded while we were traveling on a california freeway at 75+ miles per hour. We were fortunate that my husband was able to control the car when the tire blew and neither myself, my husband or 18 month old baby were injured. However, there is no telling what might happen next time one of our tires shreds. Please do not wait until more people die or get injured to recall these faulty tires. *ak( dot number: )
At least one of the front tires started making a rapid, vibrating, slapping noise that was very unusual, and much faster than the road joints. I was going 70 MPH when the noise started. My wife and I and two kids were scared. We pulled over and I looked at all the tires. No obvious defects from a visual inspection. We resumed, and the noise resumed at 70. We drove at about 50 on the rest of the trip, and have been afraid to take the suburban on the highway since. I read in the paper today that there is a national investigation of the steeltex r4s for defects. I contacted firestone twice previously about these tires. The first time, I got a non-responsive generic response on the wilderness recall. The second time, I got no response. I am afraid to drive the tires. How should I proceed with firestone or chevrolet to get these tires replaced with safe tires. I know there is something wrong with my steeltex r4s tires. Please help. Thanks. Jean r. Kroeger ii. *ak (dot number: vn11b14045 tiresize: lt245/75r1)

Pe 00 020/tire tread separation: right rear tire experienced a tread separation while traveling at highway speed of 65 MPH, driver and three passengers in a 1995, chevrolet suburban. Original equipment; p245/75r16; and dot# vn11b1a165. No injury reported and firestone notified.
I am extremely concened that I have not heard that the firestone problem extends to their fire hawk line of tires. I had three failures of these tires, all tread separations, within a one year period. After the first separation the faulty tire was replaced. After the second separation, if I remember correctly, all the tires in the production series were replaced. After the third separation I replaced all the tires with another brand. From my personal experience the problem with the fire hawks is just as potentially lethal as those currently under investigation and this needs to be addressed before more people are killed. By the way, my tires were not underinflated and the suburban was not being driven with a unusually havy load. These tires were just defective.( dot number: tire size: p275/60r15 )
