No sidewall separation-----cracking in center of tread... Scared of the tires.......... (tiresize: 205/14)( dot number: tire size: 205/14 )
2nd tire on vehicle to saparate front sidewall from entire tread of tire. First was back in august of 1999 before recall had begun. Have taken this last tire to 2 dealers and they are unable to determine what caused the tire to separate, but both have said it does not look like a punctured tire. Tires did not blow out, but just went flat. Sidewalls feel like they have just collapsed! Authorized firestone dealer said this is not a currently recalled tire. We think it should be. *ak (dot number: w2kc tiresize: p205/75r14)
Driving to work at 6:00 am on main street in town at 40 miles an hr when I felt rear drivers side tire blow. Immendiately pulled off road and tread was completely pulled away from the tire. Put on spare tire and went on to work called local firestone dealer at 8:00 to report incident, they told me to bring it in and they would look at it. When I arrived they checked it and said it was not on the recall list, so they could do nothing about it, they said I would have to purchase a new tire. I questioned them concerning the low mileage and the warrenty that would be on the tire itself, they said I could have hit something and damaged the tire myself therefore, they could not cover the tire under the warrenty. The problem I have with that is that I did not hit anything then or in the past and my rim was not damaged a all, which was very clear to them. When I returned to work I called firestones toll free # direct the cust service rep advised me that since it was not on the recall list they could not do anything at this time, but in future if it did come on the recall list if I kept my tire and receipt they would refund my tire and money. I expressed my concern that I am still driving on the same tires, I was very surprised that I was not shown any concern in regards to this and was told to wait until it showed up on the recall list, I asked her how this got on the recall list she told me to contact this address. She said they do not investigate this, that the federal safety agency would take care of it. All I want is for someone to look at my tires and assure me that they are safe and also refund my money considering the low milage that was on a 4 wheel drive truck that is suppose to have heavy duty tires..

My wilderness at (p245/75r16) tires are separating at the tread-just like the 15 inch tires that have already been recalled. My husband and I have a four year old daughter and I would like to be reimbursed for replacement tires that we have purchased. Two of the 5 tires are real bad but all are separating @ the tread. I had to purchase new tires before something tragic happened to myself or one in my family. I had no choice! I have contacted several agencies and administrations regarding my tire problem. Can you help me get reimbursed for my wilderness at tires? (I still have the tires even though I bought new ones.) please let me know how to get reimbursed. Thank you so much. *ak (dot number: w270irf338 tiresize: p245/75r16)

I was checking the air in the tires when I noticed visible splits, tears, and peelings on three of the sidewalls. I went to ford they said they could not do anything because they are not under recall and the tire warranty has expired. Obviously there is a major problem. I have notified my insurance company of the problem and the local newstation. I do alot of driving but cannot afford to put new tires on right know. If the defects are as visible as they are now why can't anyone do something about it?*ak (tiresize: 75r15 225)( dot number: tire size: 75r15 225 )
This size of firestone tire came on my new 1999 ford ranger when I purchased it on 8/14/99. While they have not appeared yet on any offical recall notice, I fear driving any great distance beacause of possible manufacturer's defects. I want ford motor company , and firestone to pay to replace these. *ak (dot number: w2uuip0229 tiresize: p225/70r15)
