1997 Ford Ranger tires complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 57 of 57, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was driving on the highway when my rear tire blew. It was a clear day , nothing in the road. After having my tire inspected by at least 3 different indivisuals no one could come up with any reason why it blew other than it being a defective tire. I have since replaced all 4 of my tires with dunlops. But thought it important enough to report incase there are more of this size tires failing also.( dot number: w29v1pk245 tire size: p26575r15 )
Tire seperated completely from rim at high speed. Tire pressure was correct as the car had completed a dealer maintence servicing approx. One week prior to the incident. Blowout believed to be caused by a defective tire.( dot number: tire size: 225x70rx14 )

Contrary to ford/firestone's claims that only wilderness tires manufactured at their decatur plant is defective, I have had 8 flat tires and one blow out in three years with wilderness tires having dot #s of vnhl vice vdhl. I had not had 9 flat tires in( dot number: vnhl1py196 tire size: p235/75r15 )
I have a leak in the tire and no one will repair it due to the recall. Firestone will not replace tire either due to lack of available replacements. Any other alternatives? I at least need my tire repaired.( dot number: tire size: p235/75r15 )
Belt was shifted and replaced with 4 goodrich tires I don't believe recall is isolated to p235 tire, I have a report from a firestone dealer confirming my story.( dot number: w29v19k426 tire size: p265/r15 )
I cannot get any answers regarding this size tire, p215/75r15. I already know that firestone is not replacing this tire however if you could provide me any information regarding the number of accidents related to this tire and make it would give me the decision to either change out the tires or keep them because it does not relate to the current recall. I ask only because I have a five month old daughter and I want to protect her the best I can however I am also not the richest person in the world and the cost of the tires is more than I can afford until probably next month or so. Your input would help me tremendously in either speeding up the process or feeling more assured that taylor is safe in our truck. Again, any support of information will be appreciated.*ak( dot number: tire size: p215/75r15 )

Firestone or ford should recall these tires. My tire blowout occured on a interstate junction (I-85n to I-77n, in charlotte, nc) at high speed (60mph) and sent my truck into ditch. I didn't think much at the time (since tires do blow out sometimes) but after the news reports that ford and firestone have known about the faulty tires for over 6-8 years, and only seem to care if fatatilities occur, I was very displeased and now want to file a comlaint to replace all 5 firestone wilderness tires on my truck. I plan to buy new tires and will wait for a recall of some sort to refund my money. Not to mention the fact that I walked away from the violent blowout and subsequent crash, others were not as lucky. Thank you, scott pagan. *ak( dot number: )
