Pe00.020 ;was traveling about 50mph on the highway and noticed a loud noise. Was able to pull over to shoulder. All four tire tread separated. He has contacted firestone. Firestone#at, p23575r15.
Sidewall blowout of properly inflated tire. Fist-sized hole resulted from flap that peeled off, starting in tread area and extending into sidewall area. Tires have more than half tread depth left, have never ben run against curb or scuffed, etc.( dot number: tire size: 235/70/r16 )
Tenvoorde is not willing to replace the tire under warrenty and I talked with an attorney he said that I should get a new tire for no cost.
My background includes over 10 years in transportation maintenance including tire failure analysis. While traveling 75 MPH on i17n, I heard the tire tread separate from the casing. The tread was beating against the truck body. The casing deflated within seconds. I was lucky to be able to control the vehicle to the shoulder. It has been my experience that the tire manufacturers produce other private label tires for other companies. Someone may want to check if the decatur plant was making any other tires for anyone. Thanks for your time.( dot number: a30844l089 tire size: p235/70r16 )
Tire seperated - looked just like recalled 15" tires( dot number: tire size: 235 75 16 )
Firestone wilderness ht tires blew out 3 times. They were replaced with the same kind of tire each time. Last time consumer changed to goodyear . They were the originals p235/70r16 tires. Vehicle was a 1999, ford, f150. *ak
I bought this vehicle new in march 1999. My tires have been rotated every 5000 miles. I have not overloaded my truck or hauled anything heavy. My tires are worn all the way down to the 2/32" wear indicators and are vibrating at highway speeds and wobbling at low speeds. Firestone does not want to pro-rate the tires unless I can prove that there is a manufacturing defect. If there is no manufacturing defect then I have to pay full price for new tires. I have talked to a number of people who have had the same problems as I am having with these tires. The tires are sold with a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty.( dot number: unsure tire size: p235/70r16 )
The tire split on the side and blew out while driving( dot number: w208lrc328 tire size: 235/70r16 )
Pe-00-020- tire on a 1999 ford f150, tire size p235/70r16, dot number not available. When driving 70 MPH left front tire completely cut off from the tread which came off the rim, causing the vehicle to become difficult to steer , tires only had 5 to 6 thousand miles at the time of the incident. *ak the tire was cut in two pieces, and firestone's response to the customer was that there was an ongoing testing program at the time.
The tires on this vehicle are too small. It has passenger car tires and not small truck tires, this has caused two tires to blow out and a flat. Dealer has been contacted. Dealer states that these are the right size tires.
Driving at approximately 60 MPH when passenger's front tire came off unexpectedly, causing an accident, and resulting in severe injuries to driver and passengers.
