LT245/75R16 TREAD SEPARATION ON ONE TIRE, TREAD DIDN'T COME OFF BUT WAS WRINKLED. JUST ANOTHER DATAPOINT FOR YOU. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BUT THE SPARE IS STILL THE ORGINAL OF THAT SERIES.( DOT NUMBER: VN11B3A TIRE SIZE: 245/75R16 )

PE 00 020/TIRE TREAD SEPARATION: RIGHT REAR TIRE EXPERIENCED A TREAD SEPARATION WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 65 MPH, DRIVER AND THREE PASSENGERS IN A 1995, CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT; P245/75R16; AND DOT# VN11B1A165. NO INJURY REPORTED AND FIRESTONE NOTIFIED. *AK

I AM EXTREMELY CONCENED THAT I HAVE NOT HEARD THAT THE FIRESTONE PROBLEM EXTENDS TO THEIR FIRE HAWK LINE OF TIRES. I HAD THREE FAILURES OF THESE TIRES, ALL TREAD SEPARATIONS, WITHIN A ONE YEAR PERIOD. AFTER THE FIRST SEPARATION THE FAULTY TIRE WAS REPLACED. AFTER THE SECOND SEPARATION, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, ALL THE TIRES IN THE PRODUCTION SERIES WERE REPLACED. AFTER THE THIRD SEPARATION I REPLACED ALL THE TIRES WITH ANOTHER BRAND. FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM WITH THE FIRE HAWKS IS JUST AS POTENTIALLY LETHAL AS THOSE CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION AND THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED. BY THE WAY, MY TIRES WERE NOT UNDERINFLATED AND THE SUBURBAN WAS NOT BEING DRIVEN WITH A UNUSUALLY HAVY LOAD. THESE TIRES WERE JUST DEFECTIVE.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P275/60R15 )

PE00020; TIRE TREAD SEPARATION: WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH TREAD ON THE DRIVER'S REAR SIDE TIRE CAME OFF. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE. TIRE WAS ON A 1995, SUBURBAN, TIRE SIZE LT24575R16, ORIGINAL TIRE EQUIPMENT. ABOUT ONE MONTH LATER,TREAD CAME OFF THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE TIRE. FIRESTONE PAID FOR DAMAGES DONE TO TRUCK. OWNER RECEIVED A PRORATION ON THE TIRES.*AK *SLC
