Consumer Description

TRAVELING NORTH IN LIGHT RAIN ON IH 55 AT BROOKHAVEN, MS ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 20, 2005. I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN FAILURE OF A FIRESTONE STEELTEX R4S RADIAL TIRE. LUCKILY IT WAS ON THE REAR OF MY 2000 FORD EXCURSION, AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER QUICKLY AND SAFELY. THE TIRE TREAD HAD SEPARATED FROM THE PLY FOR ABOUT A THIRD OF THE WAY AROUND THE TIRE ON THE INSIDE. THE TIRE HAS 34,000 MILES ON IT. THIS SUDDEN FAILURE IN A SIMILAR MODE AS THE OTHER FIRESTONE FAILURES LEADS ME TO BELIEVE PERHAPS THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED ALSO. THIS TIRE IS AN ORIGINAL TIRE THAT WAS INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY, AND IS A LOAD RANGE D TIRE. MY EXCURSION IS A DIESEL MODEL.*AK
