What owners say
Tire tread separated.*ak (tiresize: p215/75r15)
Driving north on I-35. Tire exploded without warning. Other numbers on tire: 22625 uprw-156e 0114 (pjhy pkkr 488). *ak (dot number: pjhy pkkr tiresize: 21570r14)
Pe00 020; consumer was traveling about 76mph on highway and heard a loud noise, vehicle swerved and flipped on the highway. Driver's side front tire tread separated from the rim. Firestone, p21575r15. Firestone, was notified, and there were injuries.
Three of four tires have failed, tread separation caused a thumping noise and caused the vehicle to shake while driving (firestone fr480 215/70r14). Nlm
We had just departed home and had been on interstate 5 in seattle for a couple of miles when another driver pointed out that we had a problem. We pulled off the freeway shortly and saw that the rear driver's side tire was in bad shape. Apparently, the forward bias of weight made this unnoticeable to us. We had not sensed any impact with a road hazard but had to assume such had occurred. By the time we had stopped the tire was completely unrepairable, but I could not say if it was due to tread separation. The tire was subsequently taken (7/30/99) to a local firestone dealer where a new atx tire was installed. In light of the recent recall this incident took on more significance in our minds and I have taken the precaution of purchasing new tires (non-firestone) for the truck whether or not there is any recall of the size atx tires I had removed. I thought it a good idea to send you this information to add to the research.( dot number: tire size: 21575r15 )
