All 4 tires have cracks all around top edge of tire and in tread. Also cracks all around sidewall of tire where rim mounts. Tire dealer inspected tires and said they are dangerous and tread is ready to separate. Need to take them to firestone dealer for inspection. Tires wore out to soon. Should have 10-15000 miles left based on tread depth. Took to firestone dealer and they said too bad. For $500 we will give you 4 new tires. They will only honor tires that are on recall list. He also said cracks need to be lower than they are on sidewall. Please help! All these wilderness tires are dangerous. Please put pressure on this manufacture so they can help people to feel safer on products they purchase. These tires are unsafe! *ak (dot number: e4026555 tiresize: p255/70r16)

While driving home from a trip a passing car indicated to me a tire problem. I pulled off the road, called aaa and had my spare put on my ford explorer. About a week later I took the tire in to get it fixed. The manager of the firestone store where I took it called me over after inflating the tire on a stand. The tread had separated from the sidewall of the tire. He called his office who authorized a 50% reduction in replacement tires which I accepted but called firestone to request 100% replacement cost. To date no reply from firestone. Concerned that other tires may have this problem. Do not have the dot code but do remember that the tires were made in canada. *ak (tiresize: 255/75x16)( dot number: tire size: 255/75x16 )
