TIRE CAUSED A THUMPING SOUND AND SENSATION AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 50 MPH. TIRE DEALER SAID THAT THE TIRE HAD A "SLIPPED BELT" AND SHOWED ME A DISTORTION IN THE TIRE WALL. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIRE, WHICH I BELIEVE WAS THE OEM TIRE, TO HAVE THIS FAILURE.( DOT NUMBER: A3MO FFA 0 TIRE SIZE: P205/70R15 )

TREAD FAILURE OCCURRED ON ALL 4 ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT GENERAL TIRES. THE FIRST AT 26,000 MILES AND THE LAST AT 38,500 MILES. THE BUICK LE SABRE IS A VERY POPULAR SENIOR CITIZEN CAR AND I HAVE TALKED TO TOTHERS THAT HAVE THE SAME CAR. ALL HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES SUPPLIED BY GM.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P205 70 15 )

THIS IS THE SECOND FIRESTONE FR410 TIRE WE HAD THAT HAS HAD A TREAD SEPARATION WITHIN 4 MONTHS. I HAD TO PAY PRO-RATED ON THE FIRST TIRE AND I HAD TO BUY A NEW TIRE BECAUSE WE WERE ON A RETURN TRIP FROM OHIO WHEN THE SECOND TIRE BLEW. FIRESTONE WILL NOT REPLACE SINCE IT IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST OF TIRES. IT SEEMS ODD TO HAVE 2 TIRES WITHIN 4 MONTHS WITH A TREAD SEPARATION.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 20570R15 )
