Right rear tire shredded to pieces. Two months ago left front tire messed up was able to repair that tire, right rear tire unrepairable. Took tire to a local firestone dealer they told me they could not tell me what could have happened to the tire. My wife and 3 children was in the vehicle when the tire blew out, they were on a bridge in very heavy traffic, was very lucky to have maintained the vehicle to get to the side of the bridge without wrecking are causing others to wreck. There is no doubt that this is a defective tire and should be made part of the recall to get these tires off the road.*ak (dot number: vdw81xl469 tiresize: lt26575r16)

Pe00 020; was traveling about 70mph on the highway and heard a noise. He was able to pull over, rear passenger tire tread separated. He has contacted firestone firestone #steal tex,#r4 lt265r1575.

Right rear outside tire (dual wheel vehicle) separated around the entire radius where the tread and sidewall join. We felt a brief vibration, followed by an explosion. The force tore the fender, running board and lights off the vehicle and threw us into another lane. Thankfully no one was injured and no other vehicles were in the immediate area. Also, the inside right rear tire remained in tact and helped to stabilize the vehicle. My children and their friends ride in this vehicle. Are these tires safe? *ak (dot number: w10p3591 tiresize: lt21585r16)
While traveling on highway 35 at high speed, the front right tire blew apart causing me to swerve accross 3 lanes of traffic and almost cause several wrecks. The sidewall of the tire blew out on both the inside and outside of the tire. There are four latteral slashes on the outside sidewall and one latteral slash on the inside of the tire. The tire instantly deflated causing loss of steering. I just watched the news which indicated an investigation of this tire. Someone needs to see this tire to believe the damage. Please contact me.*ak (tiresize: lt26575r16)( dot number: tire size: lt26575r16 )

I have had ongoing tire problems since this truck was new. I have had casing separations in four of the six tires installed on the dual wheel truck, both front and rear. I have contacted ford customer service numerous times. I have been to two local dealerships. I have also made numerous calls to general tire customer service and I talked to five separate representatives. All to no avail. One ford dealership told me they were "not in the tire business" -- "have a nice day" -- "good bye". Another ford dealership has been waiting for three weeks for an eamil from "corporate headquarters". I believe that they are hoping I will just give up or crash and burn -- whichever come first. General tire has agreed to give me a small credit toward the purchase of replacement tires or replace them with the same general tire junk that I have now. Neigher of which is satisfactory or fair. Someone is going to be hurt by their failure to respond to this problem or even take the time to question me as to when, where, or how my tire failures have occurred. Your timely response would be greatly appreciated as this is a very widely used tire and I believe is a very dangerous problem to the public. Thank your for your time and consideration. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have at your convenience.*ak (dot number: ador1jc279 tiresize: 235x85x16)
I was driving on a major interstate freeway and the right rear tire exploded and quickly disinegrated. I somehow managed to get the truck to the side of the road and get the spare on. After getting to the nearest firestone dealer in springfield mo, they said the failure was due to the rubber valve stem breaking loose. They said ford should have equiped the truck with steel valve stems. Ford and firestone have declined responsibility for the failure. Luckily I was able to keep from crashing and being killed. *ak( dot number: vd tire size: lt265/75/r )
I have noticed over the last three weeks what I believe was tire seperation on my tires so I called to ask if they were having problems with my make and model and was told no. I then drove my truck to the dealership and was informed that my tiers were infact seperating and that I should take them to a general tire store so I did that and it was confirmed by them that my tires are in the proccess of seperation but was told that it is not there problem that it is the dealerships responsibility. The tires are so bad that you can stick your fingernail under the rubber that is starting to come apart. I then drove to yet another dealership and got the same confermation but still no results. I was then left with no choice and had to replace the tires. They told me to hold onto the tires for a possible recall or for your viewing. I have also contacted the sc attorney generals office and they are the folks that told me to contact you. At this point I am out another $1,150.00 for tires that I should not be having to purchase yet, not to mention my safety.( dot number: 0600 tire size: 235/85r16 )
8-5-00 had to buy a replacement tire on the left front of truck. There was a large size bubble on the outside of tires sidewall. On 9-1-00 had to have another tire replaced on the front right side due to large bubble on the inside sidewall. 9-6-00 went to pioneer ford and had service manager (mark elfring) look at tires and he stated that I have the same issue on more of the tires. Contacted manufacturer and they are willing to only pro rate tires and we do not want to put more of general tires on our vehicle. 2 separate tire dealers (discount tires) employees have stated to us that these tires have this problem all of the time and they see them coming in like truck loads. We were also told by the mechanic at pioneer ford on 9-6-00 that he also sees this problem and recognizes that there is a problem.( dot number: tire size: lt235/85r- )
