I WAS CHECKING THE AIR IN THE TIRES WHEN I NOTICED VISIBLE SPLITS, TEARS, AND PEELINGS ON THREE OF THE SIDEWALLS. I WENT TO FORD THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT UNDER RECALL AND THE TIRE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. I HAVE NOTIFIED MY INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE PROBLEM AND THE LOCAL NEWSTATION. I DO ALOT OF DRIVING BUT CANNOT AFFORD TO PUT NEW TIRES ON RIGHT KNOW. IF THE DEFECTS ARE AS VISIBLE AS THEY ARE NOW WHY CAN'T ANYONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?*AK (TIRESIZE: 75R15 225)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 75R15 225 )

THIS SIZE OF FIRESTONE TIRE CAME ON MY NEW 1999 FORD RANGER WHEN I PURCHASED IT ON 8/14/99.
