FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES Complaints

STEEL BELTS SEPARATED ACROSS TIRE WIDTH. NO KNOWN ROAD HAZARDS STRUCK. *AK (DOT NUMBER: W273WMB139 TIRESIZE: P265-75R16)

THE TIRES HAVEN'T FAILED. CONCERN ON CRACKING AROUND TREAD ON ALL 4. ALL HAVE TREAD LIFE. *AK (TIRESIZE: P255/70R16)

THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND APPROX 70 DEGREES (F). IT OCCURRED ON I-25 APPROX 10 MILES NORTH OF PUEBLO, CO. THE TREAD WAS IN GOOD SHAPE AND THE PRESSURE WAS CORRECT. THE TIRE SUDDENLY COMPETELY SEPARATED AND SHREDDED WITHIN SECONDS.*AK (DOT NUMBER: W273WMA259 TIRESIZE: P265/75R16)

THESE TIRES HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE THE BEGINNING. THESE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED LIKE THE FORDS WERE. THESE WERE STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON GM TRUCKS ALSO. I DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH THESE ON THE TRUCK. CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THESE AT THIS TIME. *AK (TIRESIZE: 2657016)

DRIVING ON A GRATED DIRT ROAD, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW AND ALMOST TOOK US OF THE ROAD. WE WERE GOING CAMPING AND WAS FORTUNATE IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN WE WERE GOING PASSED THE STEP LEDGES. WHEN THE TIRE BLEW IT FORCED US OFF THE ROAD AND INTO SOME BRUSH. NO VEHICLE OR PASSENGER INJURY (LUCKILY). I JUST WANT TO REPORT THIS ISSUE SO THAT MAYBE FIRESTONE WILL DO A RECALL ON SOME OF THE OTHER TIRES THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE. PLEASE TAKE THIS NEAR MISS INTO CONSIDERATION, BECAUSE IF THIS TIRE BLEW ABOUT 8 MILES EARLIER WE COULD HAVE WENT OFF THE EMBANKMENT. (TIRESIZE: P265/75/16)

COMPLETE SIDEWALL SEPARATION, TIRE COMPLETELY DESTROYED. *AK (DOT NUMBER: 273WMB129 TIRESIZE: P265/R16)

I WAS IN THE IDAHO MOUNTAINS ON A DAY TRIP WHEN BOTH REAR FIRESTONE AT TIRES WENT FLAT. I CHANGED THE MOST FLAT OF THE TWO AND MADE IT INTO A TOWN ON THE SPARE AND A FLAT TIRE. I PUT AIR IN THE FLAT TIRE AND MADE IT HOME. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FIRESTONE AT TIRES ON THEIR TRUCKS WERE DIFFERENT THAN ON FORDS AND THAT THEIR'S WERE SAFE (YEA RIGHT). I WENT TO A TIRE RETAILER IN MY AREA AND HAD ALL THE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES (INCLUDING THE SPARE) REMOVED FROM MY TRUCK AND NEW TIRES (NOT FIRESTONE) INSTALLED. THE TIRE INSTALLER VERIFIED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS TREAD SEPARATION. I JUST WANTED TO ASK YOU TO PLEASE RECALL THESE KILLER TIRES. I WAS LUCKY AND DIDN'T KILL MYSELF AND MY FAMILY ON OUR OUTING BECAUSE OF THEM. ALL IT COST ME WAS $500.00 FOR NEW TIRES TO REPLACE THE GARBAGE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES THAT CHEVROLET INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK.*AK (TIRESIZE: P26575R16)
