Tread has separated on these tires 4 out 5 that I have purchased. I have had body damage to the vehicle on 2 of those occasions. These tires seem to have been manufactured at the firestone plant in question, regarding the other firestone tire recalls. I feel that this failure rate is unusually high. I have all maintainance records on this vehicle and can prove that the vehicle is well maintained.*ak (dot number: vnhl lm4 tiresize: 235/75/r15)
