Wilderness at p23575r15, original equipment with mazda b3000 1998. Front two tires were wearing off from the sides at only 18,000 miles. Also, when driving at approximately 50 MPH and over, dip the vehicle and it will sway, making it difficult to control.
Tire failed while stopped at rest area in mississippi after 8 hours of driving from atl, ga., side blew out where tread meets sidewall.( dot number: w2uuipo238 tire size: 225/75r15 )
A tire separation/blisting from inside of the sidewall on a 1998 mazda b-series truck, aftermarket equipment. Firestone notified. *ak the failed tire was firestone wilderness ht. The tire was slowly going flat and showed bubbles from inside wall when the customer pulled over and inspected the vehicle. The right side door step moulding cracked.
Had found out that tires are separating between the tread and the sidewall. Firestone wilderness tires.
Tread completely separated from tire casing, damaging fender area in the process. Vehicle became very difficult to control but I was able to come to a stop without hitting anything. Tire still had air in it but was completely minus the tread. Tires has been checked recently and were found to be free of defects and correctly inflated. The failed tire showed no signs of external diress and was still inflated to 32 pounds.( dot number: unknown tire size: p225/70r15 )
Tire tread completely separated from the casing of the tire without any warning. Tires had been inspected and rotated just 1,000 miles earlier and no problems were found. The sudden lose of the tire tread and resulting loss of control caused the vehicle to spin and hit the center divider of the freeway. *ak( dot number: unknown tire size: p225/70r15 )
Tread of tires came off new mazda pickup twice within two weeks on right front and left front tires. When asked if tires were defective at firestone dealership I was told the tires were not defective that they came apart due to my driving on them while flat. Interesting to see now that I was right and they were wrong. I had seen flats before but never an entire tire come apart.( dot number: )
With the latest reports of the firestone tires the models listed with problems did not include the mazda trucks. I am on my second set of those tires and my vehicle has but 51k miles. The first set resulted in a blowout at 65mph at 29k miles and the new ones that replaced those have only 22k miles and are in the same shape as the first. No blow out this time just scooped and pitted/worn tires that vibrate. The mazda nad ford rangers are the same vehicle so please include the mazdas in your report. I'm mad as hell about this.*ak( dot number: )
