1991 Ford Explorer tires problems

Filed Oct 21, 2011 · Tires · MT

I purchased two michelin ltx ms2 235/75r15 tires from tire rack.com, e732381. They were delivered september 15, 2011 with an incorrectly completed omb control no. 2127-0050 tire registration card. The card listed the brand as bf goodrich and the tire identification numbers as betjmx912711. The tires I received are michelin b3dddvox2511 according to the tire sidewalls. I contacted tire rack's customer service department. They advised that there system showed that I was sent michelin b3dddvox2511 tires and that it was not their responsibility to correctly complete the tire registration card. Does this comply with dot regulations regarding tire retailer's conduct regarding tire recall registration?

Uniroyal tire side wall cracks lt 235 75r15 - no failure - just crack. All 4 of my tires had a side wall crack the entire diameter of the tire about 3 inches down on the side wall . I noticed the crack on the inside as well so it appears the tires had some issue. I had never applied tire foam cleaner(armor all tirefoam prior ) but one time this last week I did apply some and found the crack. Looking under the 1991 ford explorer 4x4 I did see the same issue on the inside of a front tire as well...I never applied any armor all type cleaner on the inside either. Uniroyal factory phone support blamed me of applying tire cleaner which ruins tires and so did the walmart tire store staff . I never applied anything as this is an older vehicle which and no pr or show appeal. Walmart replaced all 4 tires on 10-25-09 but the tire pressure was not 35 psi its was around 43 according to my gage..the tires are rated for 50psi. Walmart charged the problem to my warranty and then wanted to charge again for a new warranty. This was a tire factory problem as both side of the tires had a crack not a field road hazard issue. Kingman az has temp ranges from 110 in july to 9 degrees in winter...this may be factor.

I have just purchased a vehicle not too long ago that has the wilderness ht tires on it that look very unsafe. I looked them up on your website and they were recalled. Is there anyway I could get a recall info sheet to replace the tires on the vehicle...there are hardly any miles on the tires and I have not been able to drive it because they are so unsafe. They are model # p22570r15. I have 2 little girls that I would like to keep safe!

I found several recalls for my vehicle. It is an old vehicle, but I only bought it in 2003. I know some of them expired, and it says to contact fod. I did via web site. They do not show any recalls. But, you showed me over 5 recalls? Can I still get them fixed? My tires I guess, have been replaced but they did nit replace the spare tire. I still have the recalled spare tire?? What do I do now? Can I do anything? But, I still have bad tires, the 2001 tire recall does not say what brand? I have atx and apt firestone tires. Campain #92v113000,91v189000,00t005000 and another tire recall, I did not get the #, but it was in 2001. Thank you.

I have a firestone atx spare tire as original equipment on my 1991 ford explorer. Both ford and firestone participated in a recall of these tires. I was never contacted about the recall. I have contacted both ford and firestone customer service to get this tire replaced and they say they can no longer replace my tire.

Tire blow out occurred. Nar 07/02/2003. *mr ford initiated a program to give away tires to their customers. When the customers wanted to receive the tires, the dealership did not have them available. Now that the program has expired they have not given out any of the replacement tires to the consumers who were on a list to receive them. It is evident that the previous tires were defective or they would have not been giving out new ones. Please investigate and found out whether ford will give replacement tires. *cb
