1999 Ford F-350 tires complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 91 of 91, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driveing at between 60-65 MPH on two consective days I had massive tire failures on the rear of my truck. In both cases I was traving along at the legal speed level with my truck empty, on a dry roadway, temperature around 100 degrees f. In both cases the truck started to shake real bad and then immediately the tires exploded. In neithe case did the tires loose air. The tread came completely off the casing. I did not loose control of my vehicle because it has dual rear wheels. Both times it did damage the fenders, fender wells, fender liners and fender braces. The tires had about 4,000 miles on them and were inflated to 65 psi. I have contacted kumho tire company and they want me to send in the blown tires and they may replace them and may repair my vehicle damsge. I still have the two damaged tires and the two that did not seperate. I will hold all four tires until I hear from you.*ak (dot number: hzioycis40 tiresize: lt255/8516)
These firestone steel tex at, p26575r16 were (oe) on this ford truck. Seperation of tread was noticed while vehicle was sitting. Firestone replaced the tire.*ak the tire was made in canada. Firestone prorated the tire and replaced it as a road hazard claim.
Right rear firestone wilderness at tire blewout due to tread separation traveling at 60mph. Vehicle has some damages. The tires size lt265/75r16 dot#vnw81xm. Spare tire was used for replacement.*ak
Pe00020; original equipment on a 1999, ford f350, tire size p26575r16. Tires are splitting at the sidewall starting at the tread and going to the rim of the tire.
The left rear tire blew out an approx. 3inch section of the side wall on the out side of the tire, a section stayed on the rim and the inside of the tire was intact. There was no evidence of tread separation on the tread. The loca firestone dealer inspected the tire and could find no reason for the failure. They replaced the tire with the same type for a prorated price of $64.78. The tires were inspected by me before I left for yosemite national park and inflation and condition appeared ok. The failure occured aprox. 35 miles into the trip at about 9:30 am pdt and the temperature wasapprox. 60 to 70 degrees. The failure occured on business is80, westbound , inside lane. The pickup was empty at the time of failure, if I would have been pulling my fifth wheel trailer with a gross combined vehicle weight og 18560lbs, the results could have been a serious accident as I was in rush traffic and on the inside lane of a six lane freeway. I was able to control the truck and move safely to the outside shoulder to change the tire. I am reluctant to use my trailer with these tires as I do not want my wife because of inacaction by firestone and ford to replace these alledged defective tires. I urge your agengy to initiate an immediate recall of these tires if action is not taken within the next 30 days, I will be contacting my congressional representatives for action on this serior problem. Thank you and I added to the fatality list. *ak (dot number: do 8062 tiresize: lt26575r16)
Large bulges are forming on the sidewalls. I no longer feel safe driving on them. I will have to replace them before I go on vacation. Showed the tire to a dealer and he told me that it was a minor cosmetic defect. Digital images available.*ak (dot number: vmw8 1xm tiresize: lt26575r16)

Blowout on interstate resulting in damage to vehicle. *ak( dot number: tire size: lt265/75r1 )
The original tire problem that I had was a 3" slit in the sidewall. Upon noticing this I purchased a set of tires from a friend who had just purchased an f250 crew cab and wanted larger tires to lift his truck. The firestone tires we purchased had roughly 3000 miles on them and were the original tires ford sold the truck with. I was simply pulling away from a curb when my tire completely blew out at the sidewall. I was not touching or rubbing the curb in any way. I have to replace this tire but I will save it if you need to see it. I unfortunately do not have the first tire that had a problem. The information on my second tire problem from the new set is as follows: firestone steeeltex radial a/t, lt265/75r16 do #8062 with a bmi 4976-1.( dot number: tire size: lt265rx16e )
Tread separeted from the rest of the tire thier was no blow out and no puctures to the tire the tread damaged my running board my fender the inner fender and the horn before I was able to stop the tire was still inflatedand it remained inflateduntill I was able to limp down the road to a ford dealership to see if they could or would assume responsibility for the damages to my truck since the tires were original equiptment. They simply said no and sent me on my way.thier was no reason for this tire to come apart the way it did. It was inflated with the proper air pressureand there were no bumps or potholes in the road just simply poor quality fabrication of ththier product( dot number: vnw8 1xl tire size: lt26575r16 )
The left rear outboard and the right inboard firestone steeltex radial (lt215/85r16) tires experienced tread separation.
Tire sidewall exploded -and two other tires are bulging at the side wall( dot number: vdw81xm419 tire size: lt 265/75r )
Peoo 020 ; she was traveling about 65mph on highway and heard a banging noise. Back right rear tire tread separated. Firestone#at steel tex 16inch. Second blowout occurred, left rear tire blewout, tread separated. There were no injuries.*ak the white walls collapsed in ward on both right rear and left rear tires on two occassions.
The right rear and left rear firestone steeltex tires p265/75r16 dot vnw81xm failed, the first tire failure occurred while driving and was due to tread separation, causing damage to vehicle, the left rear tire had a large bubble.
We were traveling hwy 40 at about 60 MPH around 2:00 p.m. When our right rear tire exploded. As the tire tread was peeling off, I tried to gain control of my truck/camper to avoid going off the shoulder or a head-on crash. The blowout caused about $2000.00 in damages beside complete tire replacement. I made a claim through farmers insurance agency and the damage has been documented. Additionally, I still have the damaged tire and rim. Upon my return from this trip, I immediately replaced the tires because I felt I might not be so lucky if I had another blowout like this. I feel this blowout was due to a defect in the tire because of the way the tread unraveled and the steel belts blew out. I would like some information how to pursue reimbursement for these damages. Your prompt reply will be appreciated. *ak( dot number: vnw8 tire size: 265/75/r16 )
The truck is being bought back by ford; so I don't know the size / make; I'm 99% sure it was firestone tires on the truck. The thread wrapped around the front suspension thereby locking the tire from moving causing almost loss of control of the vehicle (I've raced stock cars 10 years and am fairly used to blowouts, this was far more violent than anything I've ever felt in a race car). The tire wrapped around the front suspension damaging the fender, inner fender well, brake line and power steering lines. The tire could not be gotten off the truck until several hours of work it was wrapped around things so bad. The vehicle is in tn where the tire blew out; I left it there for ford to decide to buy back or not as it was unsafe to drive after this with the damage, not to mention we didn't trust the other tires on the truck after this. The tire was in the back of the truck (in the bed), however as I said; ford is buying back the vehicle (although I don't have that in writing yet; only verbal confirmation). The tire looks worse than any of the pictures on cnn today of blowouts, it's worth getting a picture of. The passenger and myself have no injuries nor claims against firestone / ford for the problem; other than the passengers almost heart attack (we had tractor trailers surrounding us in front, behind and to the right). Ps: the truck had numerous other problems with clutch not working, brakes, and engine problems; hence the buy back.
Wife was driving in middle lane on rt95 south toward richmond, va from no-va are when left rear tire blew and absolutely nothing was hit!! Tread on outter tire still in tact however outside wall was totall torn apart. Fortunately no one was killed since my wife is a excellent driver she waited for traffic to clear in right lane and was able to pull over truck (along with our 30ft camper trailer). All tires are original equip from ford for which we special ordered on truck to ensure we had biggest tire avail as options for truck that year we ordered it. Now alum rim is ruined and ford will not replace tire(s) nor rim. Closest firestone dealer is very far away 1.5/2 hours. Asked sterling ford to replace all four tires (since they no longer feel safe and show bubbles on sidewalls) and the rim but they will not even though I have bumper to bumper warranty saying that it is firestone dealer responsible. However, sterling ford sells firestone tires but obviously doesnot warranty any of them!?!? Also, about a month earlier valve stem on right rear tire went bad.. So, I have had two (2) incidents with firstone produce. Also, all tires are showing excessive tread wear and there is only 25k miles on tires. I will have to replace all tires before winter and no one can tell me how long these tires are warrantied for; 50 or 60k?? If 60k tire wears out half way and blows out on sidewall somthing is definitely wrong with these tires!!( dot number: tire size: p265/75r16 )
Firestone tire 2757516,front driver side tire tread came apart which almost cause a crash. Common problem. Please provide further information.
Rear tire liners are made of thin plastic, causing the tires to stick and pull the liners out.
