THESE TIRES HAD LESS THAN 2000 MI ON THEM IN A SPACE OF 2.5 HOURS ALL FOUE STARTED TO COME APART AND CONTROL WAS DIFECULT BUT SLOWED AND WAS ABLE TO FIND A PLACE WHARE I HAD TO REPLACE ALL TIRES THAT HAD BEN ON THE GROUND. AIR PRESURE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AT 80 LBS AS STATED ON TIRES. THIS HAPPENED ON THE ROAD AND VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN USED OFF ROAD. A FEMALE DRIVER COULD NOT HAVE CONTROLLED THE TRUCK. I FELT YOU NEEDED TO KNOW THIS INFORMATION FOR FIRESTONE IS NOT THE ONLY TIRE WITH PROBLEMS.( DOT NUMBER: MK11 TIRE SIZE: 245 75 16E )

WHILE DRIVING BLOWER MOTOR STOPPED AND SPARKS STARTED FLYING ALL OVER CAB, THEN TRUCK STOPPED AND CONSUMER COULD NOT RESTART, CONSUMER HAD JUST PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED ON THE 23RD. *AK

FRONT SUSPENSION HITS A BUMP ABOVE 65 MPH AND STARTS A UNCONTROLLED SHAKING THAT IS SELF SUSTANING AND WILL NOT STOP UNTIL BELOW 35 MPH (THIS CAN BE REPLICATED). COMPLETE LOSS OF STERING OCCURS. THERE IS A TSB FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY HAZARDOUS CONDITION.
