Left rear firestone wilderness ht tire(p125 65 r15) experienced tread separation.
All four of our tires are the same brand and dot number. These tires are not currently listed on the recall list. They came on our 1999 nissan truck when we purchased it new. One of the tires has already separated and was discovered before causing an accident. Since all 4 tires had the same dot numbers, we replaced all 4 of them immediately with non-firestone tires to prevent an accident and possible death. We did not discard the firestone tires in case we needed them for inspection purposes. Again, we do have possession of the firestone tires.( dot number: w2vf nna tire size: p215/65r15 )
All tires on this vehicle have splits in the area where the tread and sidewall joins.although there have been no failures at this point , if these are not replaced soom failure is a given. I recently measured the tread depth on these tires and found 7/32 remaining indicating proper presure and alignment have been maintained .please add this tire line to your ongoing investigation into the firestone tire failures . Thak you , r oger knipptained .( dot number: 027537 tire size: p21565r15 )
When truck was new(less than 200miles)- all 4 tires (also at's) were replaced with new ones (tread was uneven). Now replacements are doing the same thing at 20,000miles. Reed nissan told me that this was a common problem at that time with this tire. Is this the same problem now being seen on other tires?( dot number: )
While traveling 65-70mph vehicle jerked to the side & lost control. It started to slide downhill & over an embankment. Finally, came to a stop & owner got out & checked vehicle & tires. Noticed a large hole in the right front sidewall where it had split. Tire had blown. Vehicle had not hit anything. *ak tire was a firestone wilderness p215/65r15 95s.

Tire was taken to a firestone dealership. The tire was replaced under warranty. Please provide any further information. *ak firestone wilderness atx 215/65/r15
The tire w/traction rating of "b" is inadequate for the weight of the truck. In wet conditions the truck will skid (when approaching a stop sign)when braking. I have contacted nissan (claim no. 2889591) and was told that it is neither general 's or nissan's responsibilty. I disagreed with nissan and informed them that they are responsible for selecting this tire for the truck.( dot number: tire size: p235 70r15 )
