A set of 4 yokohama as 430 tires were purchased from merchant's tire in glen allen, virginia on january 17, 2007. Memphis-based tbc corporation owns merchants tire. On april 12, 2008, the front left tire valve stem catastrophically failed causing the tire to go flat while traveling at highway speed on I-81 near staunton, virginia. It was damaged beyond repair. It had only 10,000 miles service. The tire and valve stem were replaced at the owner's cost. On june 4, 2008 the rear right tire valve stem catastrophically failed in a similar manner. The tire was again destroyed and was replaced. Upon inspection the remaining two original valve stems were failing and were also replaced. I claim that defective valve stems were being installed on tires by the tire dealer during january 2007.
2003 Honda Civic tires complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Driving on 4-lane paved highway rt 17 in essex county va. Operating vehicle at 55 MPH and had driven about 2 hours for a total of 80 miles when the right rear tire (firestone fr 690 p 185/65 r 15 86 h m+s) sidewall separated on both sides of tire. Tire is original equipment on a 2003 honda civic ex purchased 8/23/03 from a honda dealer in wladorf, md. The tire had approximately 12500 miles and was rotated by the dealer and properly inflated at 10,000 mile checkup. Tire was immediately replaced and retained by owner. I have since replaced all 4 tires because or recent complaints filed on this website and recent events with firestone tires. All four tires are available for inspection if necessary.
Vehicle's steering locked up resulting in consumer hitting an embankment. *mr the steering wheel spun to the left and locked in the left position. The vehicle did not have brakes. It felt as if the vehicle shut off. The vehicle was declared a total loss. The two front tires were bald. The sway bar was broken and could have contributed to the spin out.
1. Whirring noise that increases with speed. 2. Occasional clunking when braking. 3. Right side door speaker vibrates on level 3+. 4. Clicking noise when heater is on. Is this normal? 5. I find the car a very loud ride..a lot of echo underneath with every bump..I suspect the tires maybe. They are firestone.
The vehicle experienced extended stopping distance when the brake was applied. As a result the vehicle didn't stop until it was in the intersection. *mr *cb
While driving 65 MPH the vehicle started shaking. The consumer pulled the vehicle over and noticed that the rear passenger side tire blew out(firestone p18570r14).
I have a 2001 honda civic that has firestone p185/65xfr690 tires onit. I had check my tire pressure before leaving for work. All was fine. About 7 miles into my 9 mile drive to work my car acted like a big gust of wind had just hit the front. I pulled over to check out the car. I discouvered that the 2 left tires were low. By the time I got to work the front had gone flat. When I change it with the spare I discovered that the tread had separated from the tire at the inner side wall. I then crawled under my car to examine the other low tire to find it had separated also. When I arrived at the tire store to have all 4 replace atleast one of the other 2 was also showing signs of separation. I retained the tires from the dealer and have them at mey home in aurora.
