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 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 )

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 )
