Purchased new 2002 suburban with firestone wilderness le tires. Tires were rotated and properly maintained however with less than 15,000 miles on them all 4 have large hunks of thread missing. Dealer blew it off by saying that it is caused by the 1 mile a day of gravel road that I travel. Tires on other vehicle that I've had including another suburban, traveling the same road never had this issue.

Consumer called complaining about having tire problems. Vehicle wasted the inside of the front tires more that what its regular usage would be. Dealer was contacted, and did four alignments in less then a year. Manufacturer sated that there was nothing they could do more than just an alignment.
While driving at 70 MPH the passenger side rear tire exploded from the sidewall. Also driver's side rear tire developed a hole in the sidewall, and the tire deflated. The cause of both failures was undetermined.
Purchased a surbuban 2002 in jun 2002. The truck came with firestone wilderness le. I had the tires rotated every six thousand miles and now I am told my dealer that they are pitted and that this is the sixth occurence that they have seen of these tires being defective. I notified firestone but they refused to assist me.
Two front tires wore out prematurely and the dealer refused to perform an alignment *ak the tires had become scolded on the inside at 20k miles. *scc
Consumer states that the drivers side rear tire blew out.
While driving on highway, experienced severe vibration x 3 times. Tires have been computer balanced last thursday and I took suburban in for a check today after severe front end vibration while driving on highway at 70mph. I could not reproduce the vibration with the service forman in the car. The front end vibration has stopped now without any further adjustment from service department. I thought you would want to know about this situation since it is a firestone tire that had previously been recalled last year. My tires do not have the recalled serial numbers on it. I am very pleased with terry cullen cheverolet service. But concerned about the vibration if it returns again. Could this be a normal process for these tires?
Blowout when sidewall separated from tire body; tire rim and front end damaged.
