Ford f-350. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle tire inflation pressure problems. *smd the consumer stated the tire was inflated to 55 psi to soften the ride. Later, while hauling tractor the tread on one of the tires peeled off. The consumer put the spare on the truck. The consumer was advised to run the tires at the maximum inflation pressure for the best wear, maximum load capacity, best mileage and longest life. Each of the tires eventually failed one at a time. When the consumer purchased new tires, they were inflated 60 psi for the front and 50 psi for the rear, instead of 80 psi. Everything was fine for a while, until the consumer started to experience rough riding and noisy tires as a result of improper inflation. The retailer stated the inflated the tires according to what was printed on the door sticker. The under inflation caused excessive sidewall flex, reduced mileage, shortened life and several tire failures. *jb

I purchased the tires in june 2004 and have the same problem. Have the recall inclusion dates been expanded.

I had a serious tire failure. The internal steel belts separated causing the tire to deform. Fortunately I was able to get off the highway safely without incident, although it was very scary. The tire was a firestone steeltex radial r4s ii. It was on my 2000 ford f350 truck. I only have 24,000 miles on the truck. I am now worried the other tires may have the same issue. Is there any recall on this model of tire?

I have been driving aver 50 years, have had many blowout/flats and have never had a problem controlling a vehicle, yesterday had a front tire develop a small separation and at 45 MPH could not control my 2000 ford f350 in one lane. Have had conversations with several people and it seem that sense I stopped repairing vehicles they have redesigned front end\steering systems and from what I found out it is no wonder that at 60 MPH+ anything happens to a front tire---- we may have a wreck. I can not help but feel these designs have LED to a lot of roll over's and bad accidents.

My f-350 pickup does not have a label on the driver door so I have no way of knowing the proper tire inflation for the vehical. The tires are rated for up to 80 psi, but both the tire and vehical manuals state that it should be based on the label on the drivers door. Ford says they can not provide that information to me because they don't have it- although apperantly a dealer could get it. Driving a truck that could require 75 psi in the tires with only 30 psi could result in a failure at highway speeds, but the ford rep I spoke to just kept saying they couldn't help me.
