What owners say
Had both of my steer tires blow out going down the high way right side I had a trailer on and the other I had just got on to the interstate. Put a hole in my floor on driverside and broke the brake line on the driverside as well. Passenger side just let loose with no warning. I still have all four tires and the tread. These were 235/85r16

On 9/27/2000, I had the annual vehicle inspection in accordance with virginia state law. At that time, the inspector brought to my attention that 4 of the six tires had cracking in the area where tread separation would normally occur. I use this vehicle normally to pull my fifth wheel recreation vehicle. Obviously, the tire cracking gave me much concern. Today, 10/10/200, I had all firestone tires replaced. Further inspection indicated that all tires show some indication of cracking. (dot number: vnop1wv053 tiresize: lt21585r16)
