I have lost 3 tires to tread separation one at 4000 miles and the others at about 12000 miles. I have had to replace 2 others due abnormal tread wear and vibration before the vehicle had 16000 miles on it. I thought it odd that these tire were going out at such low mileage, but the dealers said there was not problem. (dot number: vd1l1xd tiresize: lt22575r16)

Firestone lt225/75r16 (load range e) tire tread failure at highway speed on the right rear (dual) of a ford class "c" 30 ft motorhome. All tread came off. Tire remained inflated but leaking and riding on the steel belts. Tire inflation checked before every long road trip and adjusted for 80 psi. Feel free to contact me for any further information. Thanks... (dot number: vnil1xa25 tiresize: 225/75r16)
Incident happened on interstate highway. Tread separated completely from tire and was thrown, but tire did not deflate. Vehicle was safely stopped on shoulder. Two more tires showed signs of failure. Four tires were replaced. (tiresize: 225/75/16r)( dot number: tire size: 225/75/16r )
