I had been traveling at highway speeds for five hours when the side wall of the tire blew out. Goodyear has examined the tire and found no external cause for the blowout. I have photos of the defective tire and can e-mail them to you if you want. [email protected].*ak (dot number: mk72 tiresize: 265/70r16)

These tires have never held air they always need to be reinflated. After a 3 hour trip (we make this trip often) accross the florida panhandle we always have to put air back into the tires. Given the resent problems with these tires failure to hole air with ours seems like a "bigger" deal than we have thought. When we went to the dealer they said our tires were not the ones on the recall. If the tires are safe then we believe they should not be replaced but.we cant get anyone to say they are safe? The only thing we have noticed it the air pressure problem on all four tires/ and the truck feeling like it is scraping around the left side without reguard to tire rotation. I have children I just want someone to tell me that these tires are indeed safe and why they will not hold air properly.( dot number: tire size: p225/75r15 )
These tires had been a problem with cracked sidewalls, which I had to fight with firestone to replace on one tire and the spare. Finally in march a freewy blowout forced me to replace the tires. All 5 including the spare. The blowout had the tread seperate from the casing just like the ford problem. After seeing all that's going on I contacted toyota who continue to advise me that these are not the same tires call firestone. I reeated me dialogue with toyota as a long time customer that I didn't by the tires from firestone I bought a truck from toyota. They ate not phased at all. They just continue to say call firstone. Well they have lost a customer with this cavalier attitude. I believe the firstone's problem is greated than just the ford explorer. The federal safety agency should expand immediatley this probe to other makes and models.( dot number: tire size: 15 )
While driving, front passenger firestone wilderness at tire p225/75r15 experienced blowout, consumer was driving on the rim.
High speed blowout occurred april 14, 2000 on I-5 one & a half hours north of bakersfield. The drivers-side rear tire completely seperated at the seam. Nowwith the recent recall of the other firestone tires I suspect that my tires are also defective. I have already replaced one, and now am driving on four that are possible death-traps. Please advise.( dot number: tire size: p225/75r15 )
Firestone wilderness at tire p225 75 r15 experienced sidewall and tread separation, consumer wants dealer to replace all 5 tires.
Cracks - blowouts... I replaced tires at my expense. Toyota refers me to firestone. I didn't buy tires from firestone , toyota did. *ak( dot number: ? Tire size: 15 )
At 72 MPH left rear sidewall separated from tire. Tire size p225/75r15 on a 99 4 runner. *ak firestone should replace all five defective tires.
After driving out of town heard noise coming from tires, and found out that the left rear tire was flat without a reason. Then, at second time right rear tire was flat without a nail.
While traveling at 55-60 MPH noticed a loud noise. Pulled vehicle and tires had a blowout. Please provide further information . *ak firestone wilderness at p225/75/r15
Would like more information into the investigation of firestone wilderness tires peeling off their casings. I think that 21 deaths and 193 problems should warrant a call back immediately. I'am afraid to drive my vehicle when a problem of this nature involves deaths.
Tires explored with nothing left only the rim. *ak( dot number: tire size: ? )
Tires put on by manufacturer performed very poorly. Tires forced vehicle to go from side to side, and sometimes vehicle went off the road, extreme difficult to control vehicle during normal driving. Dealer told consumer nothing would help.
Tires on his vehicle are worn out at under 10,000 miles. Consumer stated had replaced three set of tires already.
Tires on the vehicle at the time of purchase were of the incorrect size which caused speedodmeter to register incorrect speeds. Please give any further details.
