TIRES HAVE CRACKS IN THE RUBBER NEAR THE LUGS. BEEN TO 3 FIRESTONE DEALERS TO HAVE THEM CHECKED FOR SAFETY. FIRST DEALER SAID "DRY ROT". SECOND DEALER SAID "OZONE CRACKING". THIRD SAID "ALL TIRES WITH LARGE LUGS ON SUV'S GET THAT CRACKING". THESE ALL SOUND LIKE B.S. TO ME! SHOULDN'T THESE TIRES BE REPLACED BY FIRESTONE ALSO BEFORE ONE COMES A PART AND CAUSES DAMAGE/INJURY? I LEASE THIS VEHICLE AND I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS! PLEASE ADVISE. *AK (TIRESIZE: P255/70R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P255/70R16 )

TIRE SEPARATED IN JULY 2000. FORTUNATELY, TIRE DID NOT BLOW. I REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES AT A COST OF $473.56. I PURCHASED FOUR FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES FOR MY FORD EXPLORER ON JULY 5, 2000, TO REPLACE THE FIRESTONE WIDERNESS AT TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE. I WROTE A LETTER TO FIRESTONE ON AUGUST 11, 2000, NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OR REPLY. I SUBMITTED A CLAIM FORM TO FIRESTONE ON AUGUST 24, 2000, ALL I GET IS A RUN AROUND. I WROTE TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2000, A FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REP CALLED ME TO ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THE LETTER, AND GAVE ME THE 800 NUMBER FOR FIRESTONE, AND SAID IT IS NOT FORD'S PROBLEM. ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2000, I WENT TO A FIRESTONE DEALER IN WYCOFF, NJ, THEY PUT MY NAME ON A LIST AND SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN REPLACEMENT TIRES COME IN. ALL I GET IS A RUN AROUND, NEITHER FIRESTONE, NOR FORD WILL TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FIASCO. ALL I WANT NOW IS ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE TIRES I BOUGHT IN JULY, AND ALLOW ME TO PURCHASE GOODYEAR TIRES FOR THE EXPLORER THAT NOW SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY. THANK YOU, JOHN P. WEINDLER.*AK (TIRESIZE: P235/75R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )

FIRESTONE RECALL IS ABOUT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, AREN'T ALL TIRES MADE IN DECATUR AFFECTED, AND WHY ARE PASSENGER TIRES BEING PUT ON SUVS AND LIGHT TRUCKS? SHOULDN'T TIRES ON MY FORD RANGER BE "LT 245/75R16" AND NOT "P 245/75R16"?*AK (DOT NUMBER: VD70IRF419 TIRESIZE: P245/75R16)
